About Gorazd
Gorazd Valjavec is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He offers online counselling that aims to meet people where they are and help them think through recurring problems. Sessions focus on connection, honesty and practical reflection to support day-to-day coping and decision-making.
Gorazd describes his work as integrative, bringing together a few therapeutic approaches to suit each person. He listens closely and adapts sessions to the issues someone brings.
Background and approach
That might include talking through past experiences and how they shape current choices. He uses an interpersonal approach that places empathy and understanding at the heart of the work. This helps people feel accepted while they deal with difficult feelings or relationships.
The approach also supports exploring identity, intimacy and self-worth concerns. Sessions can include creative elements such as storytelling, photography, music and dreams when these fit the client’s needs. Gorazd encourages people to use the format that feels most helpful to them during therapy.
With six years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, he draws on experience working with a wide range of concerns. He speaks English, Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian and accepts international clients. To begin, users follow the Start Therapy flow and schedule according to availability.

How Gorazd works online
He also uses client-centred therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person’s concerns and pace. This approach helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes and making decisions that feel right for the individual.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and together they will try approaches that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps refine what is most useful as therapy continues.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how the therapy will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If someone prefers creative tasks such as storytelling or working with images, these can be incorporated into sessions in ways that suit their routine.
