About Drazenka
Drazenka Bjelobaba is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. She also supports those dealing with relationship strains, trauma and abuse, body image and coping after major life changes, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Her approach aims to make difficult conversations easier to begin. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace.
Drazenka uses a person-centred way of working. That means sessions follow what the client wants to talk about and what matters most to them. She draws on methods such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused methods when helpful. These are used practically to look at unhelpful patterns, understand emotions and try different ways of responding in daily life.
She has 16 years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a respectful and kind therapeutic stance. Sessions are conversational and down to earth, with an emphasis on listening first and offering tools afterwards.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns including sleep and eating difficulties, addiction, parenting strain, self-esteem and career stress. She can talk in English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian which helps when cultural background matters in therapy.
If someone is ready to explore change, Drazenka guides each step and adjusts the pace to the person in front of her. The work is collaborative and practical, focused on small, manageable changes as well as deeper emotional processing.
How key approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in how they connect with others and practise different ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centred therapy puts the client's priorities first. In remote sessions the counsellor follows what the person brings each week and offers reflective listening and gentle prompts to deepen understanding. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. Over online sessions a counsellor can introduce simple exercises and experiments to try between meetings to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they will choose what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It can also let someone choose a quieter time of day or a format that matches their energy levels, whether they prefer talking without video or using video for more face-to-face feel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and pacing to work well in remote sessions.
