About Victoria
Victoria Gonticas is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement and career uncertainty. Victoria also supports clients dealing with intimacy issues, self-esteem struggles and trauma-related concerns.
Her style is client-centred and straightforward. Conversations focus on what matters now and on practical ways to improve day-to-day coping. She adapts sessions to each person's needs, listening for patterns in relationships, work and self-image that affect wellbeing.
Victoria draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and parts of the Gottman and Imago approaches when working with relationship or intimacy concerns. These methods help people notice emotional patterns, communicate more clearly, and rebuild trust or connection when it has been strained.
In sessions she pays attention to feelings such as shame, guilt, anger and abandonment. She offers space to talk through loss and to think about next steps after separation or career change. Work on life purpose and midlife questions is framed around small, practical choices rather than big promises.
Practical matters are handled plainly. Sessions run according to an agreed plan and are reviewed as progress is made. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand why they respond in certain ways to closeness or separation and can be useful for anxiety, abandonment worries and attachment issues.Client-centred therapy focuses on a respectful, person-led dialogue. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps clients make choices about next steps. This approach can suit people who want to explore values, life purpose and self-esteem concerns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when emotional patterns are getting in the way of connection. It helps people identify and name core emotions and works well for intimacy difficulties and relationship repair.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, personal preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they choose methods and review them as progress is made so the plan stays aligned with changing needs.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also accommodate people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a low-bandwidth option, depending on the formats Victoria currently provides.
