About Victoria
Victoria Gonticas is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and workplace difficulties. Victoria also supports people facing shame and guilt, feelings of abandonment, and problems with self-esteem and motivation.
She uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working. That means sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships and on helping people speak about what feels hard. Victoria aims to make conversations straightforward and practical rather than full of jargon.
In a typical session she listens to what matters most, helps sort out confusing emotions, and discusses small steps that could feel manageable. She works with people dealing with divorce, communication problems, loneliness and midlife questions. Victoria also uses methods from emotionally-focused and psychodynamic approaches when they seem helpful.
People who come because of relationship pain may notice a focus on how connection and attachment shape reactions. Those worried about workplace stress or career choices can expect conversational work that looks at values, boundaries and next steps. Sessions are offered in English and for people in the United Kingdom.
To begin she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How attachment and emotion-focused approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help people notice repeating patterns in how they respond to closeness, abandonment fears or trust issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional experience beneath relationship and intimacy problems. It helps people name, sit with and communicate difficult feelings that often drive arguments or withdrawal.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Victoria will discuss which methods fit your situation and preferences and make decisions together. That collaborative planning helps set simple goals and pick approaches that suit what you want to work on.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow sessions that do not require video if a shorter check-in by phone is preferable, or more regular shorter meetings if that fits a busy week.
