About Victoria

Victoria Gonticas is a counsellor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She supports clients facing grief, low self-esteem, career strain and intimacy-related problems. She works with those navigating attachment and abandonment wounds and people exploring issues around polyamory and non-monogamous relationships.

Victoria aims for straightforward, respectful conversations. She adapts sessions to each person’s needs and focuses on clear goals. Expect a calm tone and practical talk about what feels hard right now.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused ways of working to understand how relationships shape feelings. She also uses client-centred listening and relationship models such as the Gottman and Imago methods to look at interaction patterns.

With three years of professional experience she brings recent, hands-on practice to sessions. Her BACP credential is listed as provided. Work is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are carried out in English.

People often come for help with communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and midlife concerns. Victoria helps clients name what matters and plan small, practical steps toward change. If you want someone who offers thoughtful, person-focused support, she may be a helpful ally on your path.

How attachment and emotion-focused approaches work online

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they seek safety, avoid closeness, or react when they feel threatened, which can be useful for anxiety, abandonment worries and intimacy struggles.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings and how they appear in relationships. It helps people name their emotions, understand what those emotions signal, and try new ways of asking for connection when old patterns cause pain.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping the person lead the pace of change. This approach supports people who need a space to sort out values, self-worth and life direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as concerns evolve.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Different session arrangements also make it possible to choose quieter times, shorter check-ins or meetings that do not require being on camera depending on individual needs.
