Gorazd Valjavec
Compassionate integrative counsellor for online work
About Gorazd
Gorazd Valjavec is a BACP counsellor who offers online sessions from the United Kingdom. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck or exhausted by repeating the same patterns. His style is honest, warm and aimed at creating a genuine connection that helps clients explore options and make changes.
He draws on an integrative approach that mixes attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused work and mindfulness. Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a single method, so conversations can be practical, reflective, or experiential depending on what is needed.
Background and approach
Gorazd believes people are the experts on their lives and supports them to find clearer choices. In practice he listens closely and tailors each meeting to where a person is right now. He uses depth work to look at how past experiences influence current decisions and feelings.
That process aims to build self-acceptance and clearer insight into future steps. Gorazd also values cultural context and sometimes weaves creative methods into sessions, such as storytelling, photography, music or working with dreams. These options are offered to widen how someone can express themselves and process difficult material.
He works in English, Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian and has six years of professional experience. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different needs and routines.

Sessions & fees
Approach-focused online counselling and practical options
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current emotions and relationship patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way and supports building more supported ways of relating.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings in the moment and on the patterns that keep people stuck. It is useful for learning to recognise, name and work with strong emotions so decisions feel clearer.
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s own perspective and choices. The therapist offers empathy, acceptance and attentive listening so clients can find their own pace and direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gorazd will discuss different methods and help choose what fits your goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that changes as the work progresses.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations when visual contact helps. Phone sessions or live chat are useful when bandwidth or time is limited. Text messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
