About Drazenka

Drazenka Bjelobaba works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns and trauma, and uses a person-centred approach where the client leads the session. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 16 years of experience.

She offers open, conversational counselling that aims to help people talk through what feels most urgent. Sessions are led by the client’s priorities and focus on what matters to them right now. She works with issues such as depression, grief, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, and parenting concerns.

Drazenka also supports people facing problems linked to attachment, abandonment, codependency and communication difficulties. She works with those affected by domestic violence, addiction to drugs or alcohol, and chronic pain or illness. She addresses career stress, anger, self-esteem and adjustment during life changes.

Her clinical approaches include attachment-based methods, cognitive behavioural tools, existential thinking and trauma-focused work. In practice this means exploring personal patterns, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and attending to past hurts that affect present relationships. Sessions can include practical strategies alongside reflective discussion.

Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the Talk to a counsellor online button.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In this approach she helps clients identify how attachment styles affect trust, intimacy and communication. It can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, relationship conflict or difficulties forming close bonds.

Client-centred work focuses on the client’s agenda and pace. Sessions are led by what the client wants to explore and tend to involve open conversation and reflection rather than instruction. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of their feelings and choices.

Cognitive behavioural elements bring practical steps into session. These include spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to change how someone feels. Such techniques can assist with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and coping with life changes.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to identify what fits best with the client’s needs, goals and preferences, and adjust methods over time as those needs change.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while other arrangements may suit different people. Registered or accredited professionals can usually advise which session pattern will work best for practical circumstances.
