About Drazenka
She uses a person-centred style that places the person's priorities first. Sessions follow what the client wants to explore, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify feelings and options. That approach is gentle and grounded in practical conversation rather than theory-heavy instruction.
Her background includes 16 years working in counselling and a BACP credential, which she references as part of her professional profile. Over time she has worked with people affected by trauma, addiction and complex life events, and draws on that experience when helping clients plan next steps.
Drazenka also brings approaches that address patterns in relationships and mood. She uses attachment-based perspectives to look at how early relationships shape current difficulty. Cognitive work helps spot unhelpful thoughts and try new responses in daily life.
Sessions are conducted in English and in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian for those who prefer those languages. She accepts international clients and encourages anyone interested to consider whether a person-centred way of working would suit them.

How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present-day feelings and behaviours. Online conversations can help identify repeated patterns and teach different ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve closeness.Client-Centred Therapy places the person's agenda at the centre. In online sessions the counsellor follows what the client brings, offering reflection and empathy to make sense of emotions and choices.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behaviour. Even brief online sessions can support practical experiments and skill-building to improve mood and sleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will choose or combine methods that fit the person’s needs.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy after a move or when managing busy schedules.
