About Gorazd

Gorazd Valjavec is an integrative counsellor with six years' experience. He works online from the United Kingdom and aims to help people break repetitive patterns and reflect on their options. He emphasises honesty, connection and practical listening in each session.

Gorazd treats the person rather than a problem. He listens closely to what is happening now and how the past shapes present choices. Sessions are tailored to where someone is at, with space to notice feelings, thoughts and relationships.

His integrative approach draws on attachment, emotionally-focused, existential and mindfulness ideas. That mix is used to help people understand attachment patterns, manage strong emotions and find meaning when life feels uncertain. Work can include talking, reflective exercises and creative methods such as storytelling, music or photography when helpful.

Gorazd stresses empathy and connection as the foundation for change. He believes people make progress when they feel understood and accepted, especially in difficult moments. This helps people build self-acceptance and clearer decision making for the future.

Sessions also pay attention to culture and individual background. He offers counselling in English, Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian, and accepts international clients. Gorazd asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Gorazd uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people understand why they respond to others in certain ways and can be useful for relationship, intimacy and trust issues.

He also draws on emotionally-focused therapy ideas, which focus on identifying and working with strong feelings in the moment. That approach can help when anxiety, grief or anger overwhelm daily life and when people want to improve emotional connection with themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences together and decide what feels most useful. Sessions are collaborative and adapted over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make regular appointments easier to fit around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow people to link therapy with work or family routines. It can also let sessions be shorter or less visual if that suits someone better.
