Emilia Gonczar brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work and offers therapy in English and Polish. She holds a Master in Psychology from the University of Warsaw and completed a four-year psychoanalytical training at The Institute of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. Emilia practices with a BACP credential and has worked across psychiatric wards, charity settings and independent practice.

She focuses on helping people make sense of their thoughts, feelings and relationships.

Background and approach

Sessions look at how past experiences connect with present difficulties. She pays attention to the body as well as the mind, and uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. Emilia works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and grief.

She also addresses parenting and fatherhood issues, eating difficulties, intimacy and relationship strains, trauma and abuse, and career or life-change stresses. Additional areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues and blended family challenges. Her style combines reflective listening with practical steps to help people move forward.

Some work explores early life and patterns that repeat now, while other sessions focus on short-term goals and coping strategies. EMDR and somatic elements may be included when appropriate. Sessions are offered in a variety of online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule.

International clients are welcome and Emilia aims to create a calm, approachable space for people to talk through what matters most.

Online approaches that blend insight and practical work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, trust and avoidance so they can make different choices in present relationships.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard without judgement. The counsellor offers empathic listening and supports clients to find their own solutions to issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, uses structured processing to help reduce the impact of traumatic memories. It can be useful for people struggling with trauma, abuse or intense distress related to past events.

Finding the right approach is often part of the work. Emilia will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on understanding past patterns, building practical skills or using a trauma-focused method like EMDR.

Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls let people see facial cues and build a conversational rhythm. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, journalling-style reflection or people who communicate better in writing. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
