Drazenka Bjelobaba, BACP

Drazenka Bjelobaba is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and challenges related to health and illness. She helps with relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues such as self-esteem, anger and sleep problems. Drazenka also works with people dealing with parenting, career changes, ADHD and intimacy worries. She offers sessions in English and in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian.

Drazenka describes a person-centred approach where the client leads each session. Conversations follow what matters most to the person attending. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space so people can talk through painful or confusing experiences at their own pace.

Her background includes 16 years of practical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience includes supporting people through addiction, domestic violence, chronic pain and bereavement. Drazenka draws on a mix of ways of working to match different needs rather than using a single fixed method.

She commonly uses ideas from attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns and from cognitive behavioural approaches to manage worrying thoughts and unhelpful habits. Trauma-focused tasks and existential questions may also be part of the work when relevant. Sessions are shaped together, aiming for clear, manageable steps between meetings.

To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. International clients can be seen, and practical arrangements are scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

Approach and online therapy options with a person-centred focus

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps when trust, closeness or abandonment fears shape how someone connects with others. Client-centred therapy puts the person's agenda first and uses careful listening and reflection to help them make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural ideas help spot unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes to reduce worry or improve routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That means therapy can adapt over time as needs change, with clear steps and regular check-ins about what is helping.

The biography does not list which session formats are currently offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it simpler to attend from a different location. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to continue steady progress between meetings and to focus on practical strategies that carry over into everyday routines.
