She offers a calm, non-judgemental space and speaks English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian. Her approach is person-centred and aimed at meeting each person where they are.
Drazenka draws on 16 years of practice and on personal experience of trauma to shape her way of working. She uses client-centred methods that let the person guide the session.
Background and approach
She also brings in attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when it helps to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Trauma-focused methods are applied carefully to support anyone coping with past harm or difficult memories.
Existential themes may be discussed for people wrestling with meaning, choice or life changes. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. The therapist listens, reflects and asks practical questions to help people try new responses between sessions.
Work can include building routines for sleep and eating, managing anger, or planning steps toward recovery from addiction. Drazenka also supports people with parenting stress, career worries, body image concerns, ADHD-related challenges and long-term health issues. She encourages small, achievable steps and works alongside people as they test different ways of coping.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Drazenka commonly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. This approach helps people understand patterns in how they relate to others and themselves, which is useful for relationship or abandonment concerns.She also works in a client-centred way, meaning the person sets the pace and topic for each session. That style is helpful for people who need a gentle, accepting space to talk through feelings or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Drazenka will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. Together they review progress and adjust tools and techniques as needed.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the specific session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain continuity of care and build routines that support wellbeing.
