About Drazenka

Drazenka Bjelobaba is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and codependency. She also helps with relationship concerns, depression, grief and trauma. Drazenka welcomes people from LGBT communities and those coping with life changes, parenting strain, sleep or eating issues, and career questions.

Drazenka offers a gentle, person-centred approach. Sessions are shaped by what each person wants to explore. She listens without judgement and aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through hard feelings at their own pace.

Her background includes 16 years working in therapeutic roles and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience informs a practical style that blends listening with evidence-informed methods when useful.

She draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Trauma-Focused methods support people who need a careful way to process distressing events.

Drazenka also works with themes such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, dissociation and domestic violence. She speaks English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, and accepts international clients. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step helps match people to sessions.

How Drazenka's approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present-day patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to trace connection styles and improve how people relate to others. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client's own goals; online meetings allow space for people to lead each session and set the pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and practise different responses between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Plans can shift over time as needs change, and the client helps guide those choices.

Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or after work. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler and let people take part from quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and conversation to the online setting so the work remains practical and focused.
