About Gorazd

Gorazd Valjavec is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. He offers online counselling from his London base and lists areas such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief, addiction and LGBT concerns among his focus. He also works with issues like parenting, intimacy, self‑esteem and coping with life changes.

Gorazd describes his work as integrative, bringing together different therapeutic approaches to suit each person. He listens closely and adapts sessions to where a person is at. His practice emphasises honesty, integrity and connection as ways to make room for new choices.

Sessions may explore how past experiences influence current feelings and decisions. Gorazd uses depth work to help people gain understanding and clearer options for the future. Creative methods such as storytelling, photography, music and dreams may be invited where they feel useful.

He highlights the importance of feeling understood and accepted as part of change. That focus on connection underpins relationship and attachment work, as well as intimacy and family concerns. Practical topics like career, anger and coping with disasters are also within his scope.

Gorazd offers sessions in English, Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian, and accepts international clients. He asks people to use the online matching process to begin - complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the practice process.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Gorazd works from an integrative base that draws on attachment‑based ideas and emotionally‑focused work. Attachment‑based work looks at how early and close relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, helping when intimacy or abandonment worries are present. Emotionally‑focused work focuses on feelings in the moment and how they affect relationships, which can help with couple dynamics, intimacy concerns and strong emotional reactions.

He also uses client‑centred and mindfulness ideas that prioritise listening and present‑moment awareness. Client‑centred practice means sessions follow what matters most to the person rather than a fixed agenda. Mindfulness adds simple attention techniques that can help with anxiety, stress and grounding during emotional moments. Finding the best mix of these approaches is collaborative; the therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences.

If you want to try online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online counselling can make fitting sessions into busy lives easier, allow a shorter check‑in when needed, and reduce the need to travel. The practical aim is to make therapy accessible and workable alongside everyday commitments while using the therapeutic approaches that suit each person.
