About Victoria

Victoria Gonticas is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and the aftermath of divorce and separation. She works with clients on grief, low mood, self‑esteem and career worries. Victoria emphasises respect, sensitivity and a gentle, practical way of working to help people feel steadier and clearer about next steps.

She trained and practises as an integrative therapist in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Victoria adapts each session to the person in front of her, shaping conversations and interventions around what matters most to the client. Sessions focus on understanding emotions, improving communication and building healthier patterns over time.

Her approach draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses client‑centred listening to make space for a person's own pace, and emotionally focused ways of working to support relationship repair and connection. Practical tools and clearer thinking about choices appear alongside deeper emotional work.

Victoria aims to create a calm, non‑judgemental environment where people can talk through painful memories and current dilemmas. She encourages small, achievable changes and helps clients notice progress as they go. Her style is straightforward and warm, with attention to each person's goals.

For anyone considering therapy after separation or during a difficult life change, she offers steady support and collaborative planning to help rebuild confidence and clarity.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment‑based work looks at how early bonds influence current feelings and reactions. In online sessions this can help people understand why separation or a relationship breakdown feels so destabilising and guide steps to feel more secure. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client sets the pace; online meetings can allow that calm, patient space for thought and disclosure. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy helps people name and shift painful interaction patterns to repair connection and reduce reactivity, which can be useful when navigating breakups or changes in intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then shape the ways of working together. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. They also let people join from a quieter space, use only audio if that feels easier, or have sessions at times that suit work and family commitments.
