About Drazenka
BACP. 16 years' experience. Drazenka Bjelobaba works with people on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and a wide range of other concerns including parenting, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and career questions. She uses a person-centred style and places the client at the centre of each session.
Drazenka describes her work as client-led. Sessions focus on what the person wants to bring and on talking through difficult feelings and choices. She aims to be non-judgemental and to respond with respect and sensitivity rather than directing the conversation.
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused work. Those approaches are used to understand patterns in relationships, to spot unhelpful thinking and to address past experiences that continue to cause distress. Existential themes also appear in her work when people are facing big life questions or transitions.
Drazenka speaks English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, which she uses in sessions when appropriate. She accepts international clients and works with people located in the United Kingdom. Fees vary by location and sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, the site asks people to select the See online counselling options button and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session. The counsellor has 16 years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
How her approaches work for online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds can affect feelings and behaviour now. It helps when relationship habits or fears about connection are causing distress. Client-centred counselling places the person leading the session and prioritises what they want to talk about. This approach is useful for people who need time to find their own direction and to be heard without pressure. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and offer practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and coping with everyday stresses. Finding the right method is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which approaches match a person’s goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different models as needed. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list explicit delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or study commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use remote work to help people continue therapy when in-person access is difficult.Areas of expertise
