How Drazenka works
Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to talk about and to find steps forward that feel manageable. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and trauma-focused work to look at how past experiences shape present reactions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, features when practical strategies and thought patterns need attention.
Existential ideas help people reflect on meaning, choice and values when life feels uncertain. Drazenka has particular interest in issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, blended family challenges, chronic illness, domestic violence, substance misuse and dissociation. She also supports people exploring identity and LGBT-related concerns and those seeking coaching for life transitions.
Sessions are offered in English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian and are available to people inside and outside the United Kingdom. Drazenka works online using video, phone, live chat or text messaging so conversations can fit around daily life.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions and connections. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and practise different ways of relating in everyday life.Client-centred therapy places the person and their agenda at the heart of each session. The therapist follows what the client brings, offering reflection and support so people can find their own answers and make changes at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for issues like anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer flexibility and accessibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, focused exercises or people who find writing helps them express themselves. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
