About Emilia
Emilia Gonczar is a counsellor with 11 years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds a Master’s in Psychology from the University of Warsaw and is registered with the BACP. Emilia sees people in English and Polish and brings a background that includes work on psychiatric wards, with charities, and in private practice.
Her approach aims to help people understand themselves and their relationships. She pays attention to how past experiences link to present feelings and choices. Sessions combine talking about thoughts and feelings with awareness of bodily responses.
Emilia uses a mix of approaches including Client-Centred Therapy, attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking. She also draws on solution-focused methods and EMDR where appropriate. This gives space for practical steps as well as deeper reflection.
People contact her about stress, anxiety, depression and parenting strains. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and eating or body-image concerns. Additional areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family and fatherhood matters.
Her style is collaborative and attentive. Emilia will listen, reflect back what she hears and help identify small, manageable changes. She encourages people to bring what matters most to them and to set goals that feel relevant to everyday life.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and meeting people where they are. It helps those who need a non-judgemental space to explore feelings and make their own decisions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current connections, which can help with intimacy, attachment issues and family of origin concerns.EMDR involves guided attention to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and can support recovery from past traumatic events. It is usually introduced carefully and explained step by step so people know what to expect.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and any practical needs, then together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Many people find that online appointments fit more easily around work, childcare and travel. Online meetings can allow for shorter check-ins, easier scheduling across time zones and the convenience of staying in familiar surroundings while talking through difficult issues.
