About Drazenka
Drazenka Bjelobaba provides support for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and parenting concerns. She also helps with relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties. Drazenka works with people facing life changes, career decisions, anger and ADHD-related challenges.
Drazenka uses a person-centred style that keeps the session focused on what the client wants to address. Sessions are led by the client’s priorities and pace. She aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult emotions and consider practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Her background includes 16 years working in therapeutic roles, and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience has exposed her to many kinds of distress, from relationship breakdown and bereavement to addiction and trauma. Drazenka draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at close relationships and how early experiences shape current patterns.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour that maintain distress. Trauma-focused approaches are applied when past harm continues to affect day-to-day life. Sessions are offered in English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian.
International clients can also access her work. Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

How attachment and practical therapy work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the ways early relationships shape current ways of relating. It can help people understand patterns of closeness, trust and conflict and support calmer responses in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace; the counsellor listens, reflects and follows what the client brings to each session so the client feels heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, try approaches that fit the client’s needs and adapt methods as progress is reviewed. This is a collaborative process that respects personal pace and preferences. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for shorter check-ins, and text messaging suits ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping consistent contact with a registered professional.Questions people ask about Drazenka
