About Gorazd

Gorazd Valjavec works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, addictions and trauma. He uses an integrative, person-focused approach and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has six years' experience and practises from the United Kingdom.

Gorazd keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He listens closely to what matters and helps people make sense of how past experiences affect present choices. Sessions can involve talking through difficult memories, thinking about current relationship patterns, and paying attention to feelings that come up in the room.

His integrative approach draws on attachment-based work, emotionally-focused techniques and client-centred principles. That means he looks at how bonds with important people shape behaviour, how emotions drive interactions, and how the client’s own goals steer the work. Mindfulness and existential ideas may be included to help with present-moment awareness and questions about meaning.

Gorazd also makes space for different ways of expressing experience. Storytelling, photography, music or reflections on dreams may be used where they feel helpful. He attends to cultural background as part of understanding each person’s situation.

He works with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. He also supports people with issues around attachment, body image, codependency, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and dissociation.

Sessions are offered in English, Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian. International clients are accepted. To start, people are invited to use the service matching process and schedule a first session.

How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early and important relationships shape current patterns. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship difficulties to notice and change those patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, giving space to speak without direction and supporting the client to find their own answers. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions in the moment and how they play out between people, which can be useful for intimacy issues and relationship distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gorazd discusses goals and preferences and explores which methods fit best for the issues presented. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs become clearer through sessions.

Confirm the practical session formats before booking, as current options are set by the practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Some people prefer not to use video and opt for audio-only which can need less bandwidth and feel less demanding. Registered or accredited professionals can offer ways to work that suit your schedule and daily life.
