About Drazenka
Drazenka Bjelobaba is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, sleep and eating problems, and career or life changes.
Drazenka uses a person-centred approach that lets the client lead what they want to explore in session. Conversations focus on what is most pressing for the person in the room. She aims to help people talk through difficult feelings and develop practical ways to handle everyday pressure and conflict.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Trauma-focused methods support people who have experienced abuse, violence or other distressing events.
Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. The emphasis is on clear steps people can try between meetings, not on academic language. Drazenka also brings attention to relationship patterns like abandonment, codependency and communication difficulties.
She speaks English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, which helps with cultural context and nuanced conversation for speakers of those languages. International clients are accepted, and practical arrangements for sessions are handled through the platform's booking tools.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first appointment. The early meetings are used to agree goals and decide which approaches will be most useful going forward.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Drazenka draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current reactions. This helps when anger or trust issues keep repeating in close relationships or at work.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions follow what the client brings. That approach supports people who need a space to talk through what is happening and decide on next steps at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify thought patterns that fuel anger or anxiety and to practise different responses. CBT techniques are often brief and task-oriented, which can be straightforward to work on between online meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client in early sessions to agree which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as needed.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking through the profile. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about language options and scheduling details when you complete the matching questionnaire.
