About Victoria
Victoria Gonticas helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and low mood. She is a UK-based counsellor with three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. Her style is warm, respectful and straightforward.
She aims to make the first contact feel manageable for worried parents and busy people. Victoria offers practical, conversational sessions that are adapted to each person. She listens for patterns in how you relate to others and to yourself.
How Victoria works
Together you will work through issues such as intimacy-related concerns, shame and guilt, or career uncertainty. Sessions are shaped around what feels most useful for you in the moment. Her approach draws on attachment-based work, emotionally-focused ideas and client-centred practice.
That means she pays attention to relationships, underlying emotions and your own goals when planning sessions. She also draws on relationship methods like the Gottman and Imago approaches when relevant to communication problems and separation issues. Victoria has worked with people dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem and midlife questions.
She also supports those navigating non-monogamous relationships, divorce and parenting stress. Conversations focus on small, practical changes as well as understanding long-standing patterns. Sessions can take place remotely using video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
She will agree a plan with each person that fits their schedule and preferences. If you want clear, steady support and straightforward talking therapy, Victoria offers an approachable way to begin.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for relationships and emotion online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape how you seek closeness and manage conflict. It helps with feelings of abandonment, attachment issues and repeated patterns in relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, offering empathic listening and support so people can find their own answers and build self-worth. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on core emotions and the ways they drive interaction; it is often used to help with intimacy-related issues and improving emotional connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss what matters most to you and suggest methods that fit your concerns, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as things develop.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow more natural conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still working with registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists.
