Electricity and sockets
Yes – from the UK you need a travel adapter for Slovenia, because the sockets there (Types C and F) will not take your plugs.
Sockets at the destination
The grid in Slovenia works at 230 V and 50 Hz; the recorded sockets are Types C and F. At 230 V the supply matches what UK and European appliances expect, so no converter is needed.
You will find identical sockets in Luxembourg, Moldova, Kosovo and Estonia. Nearby but different: Cyprus, the Isle of Man and Gibraltar – an adapter for Slovenia will not fit there. 31 of the 50 destinations in Europe share the plug types of Slovenia.
Protective earth
Not every socket in Slovenia is earthed: Type F yes, Type C no. Class I appliances belong in an earthed outlet.
