Gorazd Valjavec , BACP

Gorazd Valjavec is an integrative counsellor registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - who works from his home in London, United Kingdom. He provides online counselling tailored to where each client is in their life, and his practice is shaped by honesty, integrity, connection and support for people finding their own way. He works from the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives and aims to create a reflective, genuine and empathetic environment to help them face challenges and reengage with the world.

Having worked as a counsellor and experienced therapy personally, he emphasises that meaningful change often begins when a person feels understood, accepted and genuinely cared for in difficult circumstances. Empathy and a sense of connection are central to the therapeutic relationship he offers.

He listens carefully to each person and adapts sessions to meet their current needs. Together they explore how past experiences influence present choices, which can deepen self-acceptance and bring clearer insight for future decisions.

Gorazd’s integrative approach combines techniques from different therapies and treats cultural background as an integral part of the work. Sessions may include creative methods such as storytelling, photography, music and dreams to expand how people express and process their experiences.

Attachment and Emotion-Focused Care Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape feelings of safety, trust and connection. Online work with this approach helps clients understand patterns in current relationships and address issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and relationship distress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful emotional patterns by bringing attention to core feelings and the needs behind them. It is useful for managing intense emotions, improving communication and deepening intimacy in relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy creates a non-judgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and acceptance to foster self-exploration and personal growth. It can support issues like anxiety, depression, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gorazd works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as the work unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, those living far from services, or anyone who prefers remote sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and to integrate therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
