Victoria Gonticas, BACP

Victoria Gonticas is an Integrative Therapist working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing career pressures, self-esteem struggles and anger. Victoria aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Her style is collaborative and practical. She listens first, then tailors the conversation and plan to each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that feel manageable. The work is paced to what the client can handle in each session.

Victoria draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships. She uses client-centred ways of working to keep the focus on the person's experience. Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools can help when emotions feel overwhelming or confusing.

She also uses elements from the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy when relationship patterns are a central concern. These approaches offer specific ways to improve communication and rebuild connection. The choice of techniques is guided by what will best suit the person's situation.

Victoria describes therapy as a partnership. She aims to support and empower people as they make changes. To start, she asks questions to understand what matters most and then agrees next steps together.

How key approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence feelings and reactions today. It helps people understand why they repeat certain interaction styles and offers ways to build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and non-judgemental support to help people find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in the moment and how those emotions shape relationship patterns and personal wellbeing; it can be useful for anxiety, grief and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals and preferences, then choose or combine techniques that feel most helpful. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription, and choices can shift as the work progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy life and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to join from different locations. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and can pick what fits your routine.
