About Gorazd
Gorazd Valjavec is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, intimacy, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, ADHD and life changes. He works with people who are questioning what comes next after a change in work, relationships or health and those coping with anger, low self-esteem or career uncertainty.
Gorazd adopts an integrative, client-centred approach that draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work. Sessions aim to clarify how past experiences influence current choices. He listens closely and helps people make sense of patterns that keep recurring in their relationships and day-to-day life.
His practice pays attention to culture and personal meaning. He sometimes uses creative tools such as storytelling, photography, music and dreams to deepen reflection. The emphasis is on practical understanding rather than labels or fixed techniques.
Gorazd describes the counsellor-client relationship as one built on honesty, connection and straightforward feedback. He encourages exploration of difficult material to increase self-knowledge and clearer decision-making about next steps. This can be useful for people dealing with compassion fatigue, attachment difficulties or identity questions such as LGBT concerns.
Sessions are offered in English, Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian. International clients are accepted and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and books a first session through the online options button.
How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Gorazd draws on attachment-based work and emotionally-focused therapy alongside client-centred practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and connection, and it can help when repeated relationship problems or abandonment fears keep resurfacing. Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on recognising and naming emotions in the moment to improve communication and intimacy in relationships. Client-centred practice prioritises the person’s perspective, using listening and reflective responses to help someone find their own direction.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences, and adjust the focus as understanding grows. This means trying ways of working and checking in on what feels most useful for the person’s day-to-day life.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy schedules and attending from different locations. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can allow for shorter check-ins, easier access for international clients, and using creative materials such as photos or music during a meeting to support reflection.
