About Gorazd
Gorazd Valjavec is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. He works with concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions and grief. He also supports people facing career changes, parenting strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue, and those exploring sexual identity and kink culture.
Gorazd offers online sessions from his London base and aims to listen closely to what each person brings. He uses an integrative approach that combines several ways of working so the sessions fit the person rather than forcing a single method. Sessions can include talking, reflection and creative elements such as storytelling or imagery when helpful.
He focuses on how past relationships and patterns influence present life. That includes looking at attachment and emotional responses, and helping people recognise how these patterns shape choices and connections. He encourages practical steps as well as exploring feelings and meaning.
Gorazd values direct conversation and calm feedback during sessions. He will work with clients to build understanding of their situation and consider options for change. This can include exploring communication problems, codependency, commitment worries and control issues.
Sessions are offered in English, Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian. International clients are accepted. To begin, people are invited to use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and book a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Gorazd commonly draws on attachment-based work and emotionally-focused therapy in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect present feelings and patterns, which can help with relationship worries, intimacy concerns and patterns of avoidance. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people recognise and name their feelings and then use that awareness to change how they respond in close relationships.He also uses client-centred principles, which focus on listening closely and reflecting what is said so people can work out their own priorities. Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. The therapist will discuss options and adapt the mix of methods to fit the client's goals and preferences rather than imposing one way of working.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. If you are considering starting, confirm the session formats currently offered before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins or phone-style conversations when video is not suitable, and it makes it easier to schedule regular sessions across time zones for international clients.
