About Victoria

Victoria Gonticas works with stress, anxiety, relationship and grief concerns and uses an integrative approach to counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of professional experience.

She offers conversational, person-focused sessions that centre on what the client brings. Sessions involve talking through feelings and patterns, looking at past and present relationships, and finding concrete ways to manage difficult emotions. Victoria aims to make sessions straightforward and practical rather than full of jargon.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to examine how early relationships shape current bonds. She also uses client-centred methods that put the client’s perspective at the heart of the work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and relationship models such as the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy shape how she works with intimacy and communication issues.

Clients commonly bring worries about self-esteem, anger, workplace stress, separation and grief. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, guilt, isolation, and questions about life purpose or midlife change. Victoria addresses non-monogamous relationship dynamics and women’s issues when these are the focus.

Sessions include practical steps for coping between meetings, such as communication exercises and reflective tasks. The therapist offers guided conversation about career choices and relationship decisions as part of the work. To begin, clients use the site matching process to book a first session.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current emotional bonds and patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to help identify recurring dynamics and emotional responses that affect relationships and intimacy.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and perspective, using reflective listening and open questions. In an online setting this means sessions concentrate on what the client brings and on helping them make sense of their feelings in real time.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognise and work with strong emotions within relationships. It supports talking through moments of disconnection and building clearer communication around attachment needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process helps shape short-term tasks and longer plans.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and making it simpler to schedule appointments around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and communication practice to suit remote sessions.
