About Gorazd
Gorazd aims to create a space where people feel understood and accepted. He believes empathy and connection are the foundation for change, and he listens closely to what each person brings. This helps clients make sense of how past experiences shape choices today.
His integrative practice combines Attachment-Based ideas with client-centred listening and emotionally-focused work. Existential and mindfulness perspectives are also used to help people consider meaning, values and present-moment coping. Gorazd often supports clients to experiment with creative methods such as storytelling, photography, music and dreams when that feels useful.
With six years of experience, he brings steady, thoughtful guidance rather than quick fixes. He tailors sessions around the issues people raise, including relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, grief, addiction-related difficulties and ADHD among others. He also addresses specific topics such as body image, codependency, attachment wounds and kink-positive conversations.
Gorazd works in English and also speaks Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian. International clients are welcomed. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How relational and emotionally-focused work translates online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice and change unhelpful patterns in close relationships by practising new ways of connecting and responding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on feelings in the moment and the ways emotions organise interactions; it helps people name and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and intimacy. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work and relies on empathic listening and collaboration to make sense of what matters most.Finding the best approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods as therapy progresses. This collaborative process means the approach can shift to meet changing needs and moments of crisis or growth.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for quieter, focused check-ins during a break at work. It can also enable continued contact when relocating across borders, and supports working with a therapist who speaks your language.
