About Drazenka
Drazenka Bjelobaba provides support for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and concerns linked to self-esteem, eating and sleeping. She also helps with parenting strain, career questions, ADHD, and issues connected to attachment and abandonment. Her work is relevant for people seeking support with LGBT concerns and coping with major life changes.
Drazenka practises in a person-centred way so the client leads each session. She creates a calm, empathetic space and listens without judgment. Change is paced to what the person can manage and she focuses on practical steps alongside emotional processing.
Her background includes 16 years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, referred to as BACP. That experience informs how she works with complex issues like trauma, dissociation and recovery from domestic violence or addiction.
Drazenka draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape patterns now, and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Trauma-Focused approaches are used when past harm is central to someone’s distress. She adapts methods to each person rather than pushing a fixed package.
Sessions are offered in English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, and she is able to work with international clients. If someone is ready to begin, they choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How key approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice how someone relates to others and to try new ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what the client brings each week and prioritises listening and acceptance. This approach helps people feel heard and set the agenda for what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and supports practical steps to alter them, which can be practised between sessions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best fit for a person’s goals and preferences, and may blend methods as needs become clearer. Clients are involved in choosing the pace and focus of the work.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow sessions in different languages such as English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, which may help people who prefer to speak in their first language.
