About Drazenka
Drazenka Bjelobaba is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, grief, trauma and related concerns including social anxiety and phobia. Sessions are offered in English and in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian.
Drazenka uses a person-centred style that follows what the client brings to a session. That means conversations are led by the client's priorities and pace. She also draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural strategies and trauma-focused methods to respond to specific problems.
In practical terms she helps people notice patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life. That can include how relationships, early attachment experiences or past trauma affect current stress and avoidance. She uses straightforward tools from CBT to build small, manageable changes and to reduce avoidance of difficult social situations.
Drazenka pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and communication problems. She also supports people with eating and sleeping difficulties, chronic pain or illness adjustments, and addiction-related concerns.
Working with her typically means short, direct conversations about what is happening now, followed by practical steps to try between sessions. She asks clients to set the agenda and checks in about what is most useful. To begin, clients use the site matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and early connection experiences. Online sessions can help identify how those patterns affect current relationships and build different ways of relating in daily life. Client-centred therapy focuses on what the client brings to each session; the therapist follows the client's agenda and supports self-directed exploration. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce avoidance and help with social anxiety. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Drazenka discusses options with each person and together they decide which methods suit the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process also means trying an approach for a time and reviewing whether it is helpful. Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Some formats also work better when someone needs less video time or prefers audio only, so check the available options when you arrange the first session.Areas of expertise
