About Drazenka
Drazenka Bjelobaba offers help for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, and career questions. She speaks English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian and welcomes people from the UK and beyond. Drazenka is registered with the BACP which appears after her name as BACP.
Drazenka uses a person-centred style that lets the client lead the conversation.
Background and approach
She listens without judgement and works at the client’s pace. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her rather than a fixed agenda. Her practice also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships.
Cognitive approaches are used when practical steps and behaviour changes are needed. Trauma-focused methods are used where painful memories or abuse have affected daily life. Clients can expect a calm, empathic space where feelings are noticed and named.
The work includes talking, reflecting, and trying small changes between sessions. Drazenka says courage is needed to change and she supports that courage in practical ways. Her background combines lived experience with professional training built up over many years.
This mix informs a respectful approach aimed at helping people make steady progress on whatever they want to change.

How Drazenka works online
Client-centred therapy places the client at the heart of sessions and values their goals and pace. Online sessions using this approach let the client lead conversations about what matters most and decide how to move forward.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree together what to try first, adapting methods as needs and goals become clearer. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use a range of techniques through remote appointments to help people work on practical changes and feel steadier day to day.
