About Drazenka

Drazenka Bjelobaba is a counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and trauma. She also supports people with parenting strains, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem and career worries. Drazenka works with issues related to attachment and abandonment and offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to begin difficult conversations.

Drazenka uses a person-centred way of working that follows the person’s lead in each session. She offers time to talk things through, to notice patterns, and to try small changes that feel manageable. Her manner is warm and direct, aiming to make sessions straightforward and practical.

With 16 years of experience, Drazenka draws on a range of approaches depending on what a person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and early bonds. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques for managing anxious thoughts and practical coping skills. Trauma-focused work is used when past hurt needs careful attention.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian. International clients can be supported where arrangements allow.

If you are considering counselling, Drazenka encourages people to take a first step and talk about what they want to change. She aims to make the process clear, paced to the individual, and guided by what matters most to them.

How these approaches translate to online work

Drazenka commonly uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach looks at how you relate to others and what feels safe or difficult in close connections, and it can help with jealousy and intimacy worries.

She also draws on client-centred practice, which places your priorities at the centre of the session. The counsellor follows your lead, listens closely and responds to what matters most to you. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps to reduce anxiety and improve sleep or mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Drazenka will discuss different options with you and together decide what feels most useful for your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to how you wish to proceed.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make fitting counselling into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexible scheduling that can suit work or family routines.
