Gorazd Valjavec, BACP

Gorazd Valjavec is an integrative BACP-registered counsellor based in London, United Kingdom, who offers online counselling tailored to each person’s needs. He works from a foundation of honesty, integrity and human connection, creating a reflective space where people can consider different paths forward and make choices that fit their lives and values.

Gorazd believes that each person is the expert on their own life, and he aims to support that expertise by offering a genuine and empathetic therapeutic relationship. In his view, lasting change begins when someone feels understood, accepted and cared for even in difficult moments, so empathy and connection are central to his practice.

In sessions he listens closely to what matters to the individual and adapts the work to meet them where they are now. Together they explore how past experiences shape present patterns, moving toward greater self-acceptance and clearer insight into future decisions. As an integrative practitioner, Gorazd combines techniques from different approaches and pays careful attention to cultural context and personal background.

He also encourages creative ways of working when helpful, including storytelling, photography, music and dream exploration. Gorazd is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and offers his practice primarily through online sessions.

Attachment and Emotion-Focused Support Online

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and significant relationships shape the way someone connects with others and manages distress. It can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues and patterns that recur across different relationships by offering a lens to understand those dynamics.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering non-directive, empathetic listening that encourages self-exploration and personal growth. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, making life decisions and working through emotional distress at a pace that feels right for the individual.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional experiences and interaction patterns, particularly in close relationships. It supports people dealing with relationship strain, loss, grief and intense emotional reactions by helping them access and reorganize core emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Gorazd works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts methods as the work unfolds so the therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging increase flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to work with a registered professional from different locations. These options allow the therapeutic work to continue even when schedules or circumstances change.
