About Gorazd
Gorazd Valjavec is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers online counselling aimed at helping people pause and reassess their lives. He frames sessions around honesty, connection and practical reflection so clients can consider options and make clearer choices. Gorazd uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapeutic styles to match each person’s needs and background.
He believes clients are the experts in their own lives and works to create a genuine, empathetic space for difficult conversations. Empathy and connectedness are central to how he builds a therapeutic relationship. This foundation is used to support people through stress, anxiety, depression and other common challenges.
Gorazd takes time to listen closely and tailors sessions to the person in front of him. He helps people look at how past experiences shape present choices and supports exploration of those links. That process often leads to greater self-acceptance and clearer decision making.
Integrative counselling is used to bring together attachment-based, emotionally focused and mindfulness-informed ideas where useful. Cultural background is treated as an important part of the work. Creative methods such as storytelling, photography, music and dreams may be invited into sessions when appropriate.
His experience includes work with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and addiction, as well as concerns such as ADHD, career stress and compassion fatigue. Gorazd offers sessions in English, Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian and is open to international clients.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time; prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.
How attachment, emotion work and mindfulness translate online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional patterns. In practice this means looking at how you relate to others and uncovering ways to feel more secure in close connections.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong feelings and then address them in ways that change how they respond in relationships. It is useful for intimacy issues, grief and patterns of emotional disconnection.
Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices into sessions to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These techniques can help with anxiety, stress and concentration challenges such as ADHD-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods collaboratively rather than imposing a single model.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since the biography highlights online counselling but does not list every format. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also accommodate different languages and international arrangements for those living or travelling abroad.
