He also supports work on attachment, body image, control and communication problems among other focus areas. Sessions aim to build understanding of how the past affects present choices.
Language options include English, Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian, and international clients are accepted. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Payment uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How attachment and emotion work translate to online therapy
Gorazd blends attachment-focused ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centred listening and mindfulness practices. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape patterns in the present and helps people notice recurring habits in relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centres on identifying and processing strong feelings so that people can respond differently in close relationships. Mindfulness provides tools to steady attention and reduce reactivity in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s concerns, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working together. Over the first few sessions they will review what feels helpful and adjust the balance of approaches as needed.
The original biography indicates online counselling sessions are offered, so please confirm the exact formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and cuts out travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that suits, or for using audio rather than video to accommodate lower bandwidth. Many people find online therapy lets them bring material from everyday life directly into sessions, and it can support steady, ongoing work when travel or location would otherwise get in the way.
