About Gorazd

Gorazd Valjavec is a BACP counsellor who offers integrative, person-focused therapy from the United Kingdom. He works online and aims to meet people where they are. His sessions emphasise honesty, empathy and a straightforward, connected way of working.

Gorazd believes people know their own lives best. He listens closely and helps clients reflect on options rather than prescribing fixed answers. In sessions he encourages genuine conversation and a calm, accepting atmosphere to explore what matters now.

His approach draws on attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused work and client-centred listening. This helps people look at how past relationships shape current patterns, including issues around intimacy, codependency and attachment. He also uses mindfulness and existential ideas to help with meaning, stress and difficult life changes.

Gorazd has six years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is recorded as BACP. He works with a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, anger and parenting strain. He also supports people dealing with body image, sexual culture topics such as BDSM and kink, and challenges linked to ADHD.

Sessions are described as tailored and can include creative elements like storytelling, photography, music or working with dreams. People who speak English, Croatian, Slovenian or Serbian can be seen, and Gorazd accepts international clients. To begin, follow the platform steps to match and schedule a first session.

How Gorazd’s approaches work online

Gorazd uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours in relationships and can be useful for intimacy and codependency concerns.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles, which focus on identifying and naming emotions in the moment. That approach aims to help people notice feelings, share them more clearly and change unhelpful interaction patterns in close relationships.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and life circumstances and then choose methods that fit. Sessions can change over time as needs evolve, and the aim is to work together to find what helps most.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or family commitments and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to maintain continuity through life changes and to access a therapist who speaks English, Croatian, Slovenian or Serbian. Confirm the exact session options on the booking page before you schedule so you know how you will meet.
