Victoria Gonticas, BACP

Victoria Gonticas helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She supports people facing grief, intimacy-related problems, low self-esteem and career strain. Victoria works with issues linked to trauma, anger and family change. She also focuses on attachment and communication difficulties.

Victoria uses a straightforward, person-centred style. She listens first and tailors conversations to each person's needs. Sessions aim to build understanding, safety and clearer next steps rather than quick fixes.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused ways of working to notice how patterns show up in relationships. Practical tools from relationship methods are used when people want help with communication or separation. Therapy conversations also look at past experiences that shape current feelings and choices.

Victoria has three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. That means she works within recognised UK counselling standards. She frames work around respect, sensitivity and compassionate listening.

People can expect a collaborative relationship where goals are agreed together. Sessions move at a pace set by the person seeking help. Victoria aims to support self-understanding and practical change so people can feel more confident navigating difficult moments.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses, helping people see why they react the way they do and learn new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment, offering empathic listening and a non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps identify and change unhelpful interaction patterns in close relationships by naming emotions and testing new ways of responding.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss which approach or mix of approaches fits best based on your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where therapy goals and methods are adjusted as you make progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can fit shorter updates, brief reflections or times when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily routines while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
