Victoria Gonticas, BACP

Victoria Gonticas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. She works with issues such as grief, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem and workplace stress. Victoria also supports people navigating life decisions like career change and midlife crossroads.

Victoria trained and practices as an Integrative Therapist and holds BACP accreditation. She draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than one set method. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversations that aim to clarify problems and identify small, manageable steps forward.

Her style is warm and respectful. She aims to make space for difficult feelings and to help people feel heard. Victoria tailors the pace and focus of sessions to match what each person brings and values.

In the room she helps people look at patterns, especially around attachment and communication. That might mean noticing how past relationships influence current ones, or finding ways to express needs more clearly. Work can include exploring grief, anger, shame or feelings of isolation.

People often come wanting clearer direction or relief from daily pressure. Victoria helps break concerns into concrete steps, offers reflective listening, and supports people as they try new ways of coping. She encourages self-compassion and practical changes that fit everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships influence present feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns of closeness and distance and is often useful for relationship stress, abandonment worries and feeling isolated.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s pace to help them discover their own solutions, which can suit people dealing with low self-esteem or life purpose questions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps identify and name core emotions and how those emotions affect interactions with others. It is commonly used for intimacy issues and improving emotional connection in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adjust methods as that relationship develops. This is a collaborative process aimed at finding a good fit for the client’s needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to continue work between in-person contacts. Sessions can be shorter check-ins when needed, or longer conversations when time allows. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and how they match your routine.
