About Victoria
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience, Victoria Gonticas helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief and career concerns. She also works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and family-related strains. Victoria uses relational approaches to help people feel heard and to clarify what they want from therapy.
Victoria adapts sessions to the person in front of her. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at early patterns of relating, and on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred methods to notice feelings and improve communication. These approaches are used to address issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and problems with intimacy or trust.
In practical terms Victoria will pay attention to how relationships affect mood and behaviour. She helps people identify recurring patterns, name emotions, and try new ways of connecting with others. Conversations are straightforward and focused on the next realistic steps that feel manageable for the client.
Sessions can also explore workplace stress, midlife questions, and life-purpose concerns. Victoria is familiar with topics such as divorce and separation, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, guilt and shame, and the effects of isolation. Her work includes looking at daily habits and small changes that support steadier mood and clearer decisions.
People who choose to begin with Victoria are invited to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. She works in English and carries the BACP credential.

How her relationship-focused approaches work online
Victoria commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current responses to closeness and separation; it helps with difficulties such as abandonment fears and repeated relational cycles. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming core emotions and changing interaction patterns that maintain distress, which can help with intimacy issues and recurring conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Victoria will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation that considers the person’s concerns and what changes feel realistic to try.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-in meetings when needed. Some formats require less bandwidth or no camera, which can suit quieter or busier days. Discussing practical arrangements early helps sessions fit into everyday life.
