About Drazenka
Counsellor Drazenka Bjelobaba is a BACP member with 16 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationships, depression, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, life changes, coaching and ADHD.
Drazenka uses a person-centred way of working. Sessions are led by what the client wants to talk about. The focus is on listening, reflecting and helping people make changes at their own pace.
Her approach also draws on attachment-based ideas. That helps when difficulties come from early relationships or feelings of abandonment. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and patterns that keep problems going. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm continues to affect daily life.
Drazenka speaks English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian. She works from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.
Her practice notes that session fees vary with location and that therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
She aims to give straightforward support for practical problems and emotional pain. Sessions are guided by the client's concerns and pace, with an emphasis on clarity and practical steps where appropriate.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and early patterns of relating. It looks at how past connections shape current feelings and interactions, and it can help when abandonment or attachment issues cause distress.Person-centred or client-centred work places the client's concerns at the centre of sessions. The counsellor follows the topics the client brings and reflects back what emerges, supporting people to make their own decisions and changes.
Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It offers practical exercises to test and change those patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That discussion is collaborative and may change over time as needs shift.
The profile does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while helping people work on the issues above.
