About Gorazd

Counsellor Gorazd Valjavec is BACP registered and has six years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. He offers counselling for concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, addictions and grief. He also lists support for parenting, career questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue, among other matters. Sessions are offered in English, Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian, and international clients are accepted.

Gorazd describes an integrative approach that blends several therapeutic methods. He listens closely to each person's situation and adapts sessions to the issues they bring. Conversations aim to help people understand how past experiences affect choices now, and to develop clearer perspectives on next steps.

He uses attachment-based work to look at how relationships shape reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements help people identify and work through strong feelings. Client-centred techniques keep the focus on the person's own priorities and pace.

Gorazd also draws on existential ideas when people face big life questions or loss of direction. Mindfulness methods are used to help with present-moment coping and managing stress. He welcomes creative material in sessions, such as storytelling, photographs or music, when it helps someone explain their experience.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location. To start, people are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session. He works from the United Kingdom and is BACP registered.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Gorazd uses attachment-based work to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. This can be useful for people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy issues or attachment difficulties. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help identify and work through strong emotions that get in the way of connection and decision-making.

Client-centred work keeps the focus on the person's own priorities and pace. In practice this means sessions follow what matters to the client and aim to make space for their views and choices. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work and will be decided together, based on the client's needs and what they want to achieve.

The therapist's biography notes he offers online counselling, but it does not list specific session formats here. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know what is available. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or making it simpler to schedule around work or childcare. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt online work to the practical needs of the person, and Gorazd will discuss how to make sessions fit into everyday routines.
