Gorazd Valjavec , BACP

Gorazd Valjavec is an integrative BACP registered counsellor based in London, United Kingdom, who offers online counselling tailored to meet clients where they are. He combines honesty, integrity and a focus on human connection to help people discover their own path forward. Gorazd works from a belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and that a reflective, genuine and empathic therapeutic environment best supports meaningful change.

Drawing on his experience as both a counsellor and a client, Gorazd emphasises the importance of feeling understood, accepted and genuinely cared for during difficult moments. Empathy and connection form the foundation of his practice, allowing clients to feel safe enough to explore painful memories, current challenges and relationship patterns. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, with careful listening guiding the pace and focus of the work.

As an integrative practitioner he weaves together different therapeutic approaches and pays attention to cultural context as a key part of treatment. Creative methods are welcomed where helpful, including storytelling, photography, music and working with dreams, so therapy can be tailored to suit individual preferences and life experience. BACP indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting professional standards in counselling practice.

Working with Attachment and Emotion Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It explores connection, trust and attachment needs to help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and emotional distance. Client-Centered Therapy puts the client’s experience at the centre of the work, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where personal insight, self-acceptance and decision making can develop. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotions and interactional patterns in close relationships, helping partners and individuals understand and shift cycles of conflict and withdrawal.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Gorazd works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. Therapists can adapt methods over time so the work remains relevant and responsive to the client’s experience.

Online therapy with Gorazd is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, differing time zones or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access professional support from a distance while working toward practical changes and emotional understanding.
