Victoria Gonticas , BACP

Victoria Gonticas is qualified in the UK as an Integrative Therapist with 3 years of professional experience, offering a client-focused approach to emotional and practical challenges. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, motivation and self-esteem concerns, bereavement, and career-related problems. Victoria combines training and experience to shape sessions that respond to each person’s situation and goals.

She practices with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and therapeutic plans to fit individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Victoria views the decision to seek therapy as a courageous first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life, and she aims to support and empower people throughout that process.

Throughout her work she emphasises collaboration and practical support, helping clients explore patterns, build insight, and develop strategies for change. Her credentials include BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she draws on integrative principles to adapt methods to the needs of each person.

Approaches for attachment, emotion, and client-led work online

Victoria draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early bonds and attachment patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for those working through abandonment, trust, and closeness issues or seeking to change long-standing relational patterns.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a supportive space where clients set the pace and priorities of their work. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, non-judgmental relationship to explore self-esteem, life direction, and emotional wellbeing.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used for exploring and reshaping emotional responses and patterns within close relationships. EFT can help individuals and couples access underlying emotions, improve communication, and rebuild connection when emotions have become stuck or reactive.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Victoria works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as progress unfolds to ensure the work remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or real-time support can be provided via live chat or text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from home, and continue work consistently even when life feels unpredictable.
