Gorazd Valjavec , BACP

Gorazd Valjavec is an integrative counsellor registered with the BACP, practicing from his home in London, United Kingdom and offering online sessions designed to meet clients where they are. He works from a foundation of honesty, integrity and human connection, helping clients pause, reflect and weigh their options when familiar patterns feel unhelpful or exhausting.

He approaches each person as the expert of their own life and creates a reflective, genuine and empathic space where new perspectives can emerge. Drawing on his own experience as both counsellor and client, he prioritises understanding, acceptance and care as the essentials for therapeutic change. Empathy and connectedness guide the work and help people engage with difficult emotions and circumstances.

Gorazd listens closely to each client and adapts sessions to current needs, exploring how past experiences influence present choices and relationships. This depth of exploration aims to increase self-acceptance and clarity about future decisions. As an integrative practitioner he blends therapeutic methods and pays close attention to cultural context, inviting creative ways of working when helpful, including storytelling, photography, music and dream exploration. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body representing counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy and Connection

Gorazd Valjavec draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust, helping clients work through issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds and difficulties in intimate relationships. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic presence that supports self-exploration and personal growth by following the client’s pace and priorities. In addition, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to identify and transform problematic interaction cycles and emotional responses, making it useful for relationship and family concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Gorazd treats this as a collaborative process. He will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the style and focus as understanding deepens and circumstances change. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to offer the best fit for an individual.

Online therapy with Gorazd is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from home or while travelling, and they allow sessions to be arranged around work, family or other commitments.
