About Gorazd
Gorazd Valjavec is a BACP counsellor who focuses on honest, connected work that helps people find new ways forward. He offers online counselling from the United Kingdom and aims to meet people where they are. Sessions are shaped around listening and practical conversation rather than jargon.
Gorazd uses an integrative approach that blends different therapies to suit each person. He takes time to understand how past experiences affect day-to-day choices now. That can help with low mood, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and stress related to caregiving or work.
In sessions he prioritises empathy and connection. People are invited to talk about what matters and what they want to change. The work can include storytelling, photography, music or dream material when that feels helpful.
Gorazd aims to create a straightforward, reflective space for exploring feelings about loss, addiction, career struggles, identity and trauma. He also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and the pressures of parenting.
He draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at close relationships and uses client-centred listening to focus on each persons priorities. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused ways of working appear when they support clearer understanding and stronger emotional connection.
With six years of practice behind him, Gorazd combines experience with a down-to-earth style. He encourages people to try different ways of working and to shape the sessions so they fit real life. To begin, follow the site process and complete the short questionnaire to find a good match.

How Gorazd uses different therapies online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships and trust. Online sessions using this idea help people understand patterns in close connections and reduce repeat conflicts or disconnection.Client-centred work means the session is guided by the person's concerns and pace. The counsellor listens closely, reflects understanding and helps people make decisions that fit their own values.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try ways of working that feel most useful. Decisions about emphasis and methods are made together, so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If quieter surroundings, camera-free conversation or a shorter slot would help, ask about those possibilities when you schedule.
