Drazenka Bjelobaba helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. She supports those coping with grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, parenting strains and career changes. Drazenka also works with issues such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment worries, and the fallout from domestic violence or separation.

She practises in a straightforward, person-centred way. Sessions are led by what the person wants to talk about.

Background and approach

The aim is to listen without judgement and help people make small, manageable changes that feel right for them. Drazenka brings 16 years of experience to her practice and holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background informs a gentle, empathetic approach with practical tools when they are useful.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Trauma-focused methods are applied when past events continue to cause distress.

Sessions can be run in English, Bosnian, Croatian or Serbian, and international clients are welcome. People meet by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs and schedules. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is arranged according to availability.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people notice recurring ways of relating and try new responses in close connections. Client-centred therapy puts the person and their priorities at the heart of each session and focuses on listening, reflection and supporting the client to find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and tests small changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs in the first sessions. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so the plan fits the person's life and aims.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text messaging suits shorter check-ins, reflective writing or people who prefer not to use audio. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel.
