About me
Hi, my name is Gorazd. I am an integrative BACP registered counsellor working from home.
I offer online counselling sessions tailored to meet you where you are. My practice is guided by honesty, integrity, connection and finding your own path. I believe that you are the expert of your own life and that by offering a reflective, genuine and emphatic environment you will be best positioned for insight and self acceptance needed to face the challenges ahead and to fully engage with the world.
I'm aware that finding a therapist who is a good match sometimes takes time, so I offer initial over the phone assessment free of charge. Sliding scale prices can be provided for short and long term agreement subject to availability.
“We men and women are all in the same boat, upon a stormy sea. We owe to each other a terrible and tragic loyalty.“
G.K. Chesterton
We have surrounded ourselves with a very efficient and responsive technological environment yet we forget to nourish the space for one another. Online counselling can bring these two worlds together and offer a unique therapeutic space and accessibility.
In my practice, I take the time to listen closely to your needs and tailor our sessions to meet you where you currently are. Through our work together we will move towards greater understanding of your past and its impact on your life today, this depth of work allows for greater self acceptance and more insight over the decisions you make today.
Significant part of my work is dedicated to coping with trauma, loss and bereavement. To understand how moving towards final stages affects our lives, and how to embrace our aliveness when facing the unknown.
Integrative counselling can bring together different therapeutic approaches and provides a tailored interpersonal space where appreciation of client’s culture plays a crucial part.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
