About Drazenka
Drazenka Bjelobaba is a BACP counsellor with 16 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and LGBT concerns, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges linked to career and life change. Drazenka also works with issues such as ADHD, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, and low self-esteem.
Her approach is person-centred, which means sessions are guided by what the client wants to talk about. She prioritises listening and reflecting so people can make sense of what is happening in their lives. That practical focus aims to help clients find steps they can try between sessions.
Drazenka draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current feelings and behaviours. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of coping. Trauma-focused work and existential themes may be included when relevant to the issue at hand.
Sessions involve talking through experiences, noticing patterns, and practising different responses. She offers conversation in English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian for those who prefer those languages. International clients are accepted and sessions are arranged from the United Kingdom.
People who come to her often want support with change, decision-making, or dealing with strong emotions. Drazenka can also address practical problems such as communication breakdowns, addiction-related concerns, grief, or parenting strain. She asks clients what they want to achieve and works with them to set realistic next steps.
Approaches used in online sessions and practical fit
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape feelings and responses now. Online sessions using this approach can help when patterns from past relationships are affecting intimacy, trust or coping in work and personal life. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify thought patterns and test small behavioural changes. It suits problems like anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and stress by offering practical steps to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss clients' goals, preferences and day-to-day needs, and together they will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as the work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Registered or accredited professionals often offer flexible timings to fit study, work or busy schedules. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or fit therapy into a lunch break or between commitments. Ask about language options and any practical arrangements when you arrange the first appointment.
