About Gorazd
Gorazd Valjavec is a counsellor who uses an integrative style to meet people where they are. He works online from the United Kingdom and focuses on building connection, empathy and honest conversation. Gorazd holds BACP accreditation, which appears after his name to show his professional registration.
He listens closely to each person's concerns and shapes sessions to fit their needs. That might mean looking at how past experiences affect today's choices.
Background and approach
It can also involve practical steps to manage stress, anxiety or relationship worries. Gorazd draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how bonds with others influence feelings and behaviour. He also uses client-centred methods that place the person's perspective at the heart of therapy.
Emotionally-focused and mindfulness approaches are part of his toolbox as well. The work may be conversational or more expressive, using storytelling, photos, music or dreams when helpful. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding, compassion and clearer decision making.
Parents seeking support around parenting stresses will find practical discussion alongside emotional exploration. With six years of experience, Gorazd offers a steady, reflective presence for those facing grief, addiction, intimacy issues, burnout and other concerns. He speaks English, Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian, and is open to working with clients based in different countries via online formats.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
Gorazd commonly draws on attachment-based therapy and client-centred work in online sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and responses, which can help with intimacy, relationship distress and patterns of trust. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's own perspective, offering a non-directive space where they lead the pace and topics of each session.He also incorporates emotionally-focused techniques to help people name and shift intense feelings, and mindfulness practices to build calmer attention and coping in daily life. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and test what feels most helpful based on personal goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations where tone and facial cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or when someone prefers typed expression. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
