About Drazenka

Drazenka Bjelobaba offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and a wide range of related concerns. She welcomes conversations about depression, addiction, relationship strain, grief and intimacy-related issues. Drazenka uses a warm, non-judgemental tone and aims to create a calm space where people can speak freely. She holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in her details, and brings 16 years of experience to her work.

Her approach is led by the person in the room. Sessions follow what the client wants to explore rather than a rigid agenda. That makes the work practical and focused on everyday change, such as improving sleep routines, managing anxiety, or coping with life transitions.

Drazenka draws on several ways of working depending on the issue. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings, client-centred ways to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s priorities, and cognitive behavioural techniques for tackling anxious or repetitive thoughts. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past harm affects current wellbeing.

People who have struggled with addiction, body image, chronic illness, or parenting pressures may find sessions address concrete steps and small experiments to try between meetings. Drazenka also supports those dealing with abandonment, commitment concerns, or difficulties with communication and intimacy.

She offers therapy in English and in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian. Sessions are available for people in the United Kingdom and for international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How key approaches guide online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour; it can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment or patterns that repeat in relationships. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s priorities first and builds a steady, accepting space where difficult topics can be spoken about at the client’s pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Drazenka will work together with each person to decide which ideas to try first, and will adjust the plan as goals and needs become clearer. That collaborative method means therapy is tailored to what the client hopes to achieve rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it often reduces travel time, can allow for shorter check-ins during a workday and can help people keep momentum between sessions. It also makes multilingual support more practical for those who prefer Bosnian, Croatian or Serbian. Registered or accredited professionals can help plan how to use sessions to improve routines, reduce sleepless nights and manage stress while working around everyday commitments.
