About Victoria
Victoria Gonticas is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and problems in relationships. She supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, career worries and intimacy concerns. Victoria works with sensitivity and respect to help clients take the first steps toward change.
She uses a person-centred approach that places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. That style focuses on listening carefully and tailoring conversations to each person’s needs. Victoria also draws on attachment-based ideas and emotion-focused methods when they help make difficult feelings clearer and more manageable.
In sessions she aims to create a calm space for honest conversation. Practical topics such as communication, dealing with guilt or shame, and rebuilding connection after separation are addressed with straightforward guidance. Work can include looking at patterns linked to abandonment, loneliness or workplace stress.
Victoria has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is recorded here as BACP. Her approach blends empathy with clear goals so that people can move forward at a pace that suits them.
People come for different reasons, from midlife questions to exploring non-monogamous relationship dynamics. The focus is always on what matters to the individual and on helping them find clearer ways to cope and grow.
How Victoria’s approaches translate to online work
Victoria uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s own perspective and pace, helping people feel heard and understood. This approach focuses on open listening and adapting conversations to what matters most to the client.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another influence that helps name and work with strong feelings in order to improve connection and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative task. The counsellor will talk with each client about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. Plans can be revisited as work progresses so the approach stays useful.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy during periods of work or family change, since sessions can be scheduled around daily life.
