Drazenka Bjelobaba
Calm, person-centred support for life’s challenges
About Drazenka
Drazenka Bjelobaba helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship strain. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and low self-esteem. Short-term goals such as better sleep, coping with life changes or managing anger are within her focus.
Drazenka offers a calm, respectful space for people to talk through difficult moments. She works from a person-centred stance, so sessions follow what the client needs to talk about. That means the person leads and Drazenka reflects back what she hears.
Background and approach
She blends that approach with attachment-based ideas to understand close relationships and cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. With 16 years of experience, Drazenka has worked with a wide range of concerns including addictions, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Her practice also covers parenting stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges linked to chronic illness or pain.
She draws on this experience to adapt sessions to practical goals. Drazenka is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, and is available to international clients.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviours. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships, such as trust, intimacy and fears of abandonment, and can be useful when past connection issues affect present life.Client-centred counselling focuses on following the client’s lead. The therapist listens, reflects and offers a non-judgemental presence so people can explore what matters most to them. This approach suits those who need time to make sense of feelings at their own pace.
Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. They are practical tools for managing anxiety, mood, sleep problems or unhelpful coping habits by testing thoughts and trying different responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Drazenka will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as things change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions fit shorter check-ins or people with limited bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit those who prefer writing or need brief, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping the focus on meaningful progress with a registered or accredited professional.
