Victoria Gonticas offers help for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, intimacy concerns, depression and career worries. She supports people facing anger, low self-esteem and trauma or abuse. Victoria also addresses family strains and issues around communication, attachment and separation.

She works in a straightforward, respectful way. Conversations are tailored to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on clear steps people can take, and on understanding painful patterns that keep repeating.

Background and approach

Victoria uses several approaches depending on what a person needs. She draws on Attachment-Based ideas to explore how early bonds affect current relationships. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and move through strong feelings.

She also applies Client-Centred listening so people feel heard and understood. Her background includes three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

That registration is shown as BACP. People who come to Victoria often want practical change alongside emotional understanding. She will work with each person to set realistic goals and to find ways to meet them between sessions.

The aim is clearer communication, stronger self-worth and more manageable day-to-day life. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Victoria encourages questions about how therapy will work and what to expect.

She aims to make the process feel manageable from the first meeting.

How these approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions can help people understand where patterns of fear or avoidance come from and how to try different ways of relating in the present. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognising and changing painful emotional responses. In online work this can mean naming feelings in the moment and practising new responses with the therapist's guidance. The Gottman Method offers targeted strategies for improving communication and managing conflict in partnerships, with practical exercises that can be discussed and adapted during sessions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That means checking in together, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan as conversations progress so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when video is difficult. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and are useful for tracking thoughts between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping a steady course of support.
