Drazenka Bjelobaba, BACP

Drazenka Bjelobaba is a qualified therapist who combines professional training with personal experience to offer compassionate care. She draws on a diverse background and numerous professional qualifications to meet individual needs with sensitivity, respect, and kindness. Having navigated traumatic lived experience herself, she uses that perspective to create an empathic, non-judgmental space where people can explore difficult feelings at their own pace.

Recognizing that change can feel frightening, Drazenka frames therapy as a courageous step and supports clients through the process with steady encouragement. Her practice follows a person-centered approach, which means each session is guided by the client and focuses on what the client wishes to explore. She aims to listen attentively, reflect understanding, and help clients work toward the changes they want in their lives. Drazenka holds BACP, indicating membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and seeks to offer care grounded in respect, empathy, and practical support for anyone ready to begin their therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic approaches offered in online sessions

Drazenka draws on client-centered therapy, which places the client at the center of each session and focuses on their priorities, pacing, and self-directed exploration. This approach helps people who want a supportive environment to understand feelings, build insight, and make personal changes.

She also integrates attachment-based therapy, which looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for clients working on intimacy, abandonment, or relationship-related issues by helping them recognize and reshape long-standing patterns.

Drazenka uses trauma-focused techniques when needed to address the effects of traumatic experiences, helping clients process difficult memories and develop coping strategies that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Drazenka works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier for clients to fit therapy into busy lives, access care across distances, and continue work with licensed professionals in ways that suit their schedule and communication style.
