Victoria Gonticas , BACP

Victoria Gonticas is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with low mood, career strain, anger and self-esteem struggles. Victoria lists Women's issues among her focus areas and works with matters such as attachment, abandonment and isolation.

She practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which appears as BACP in her credentials. Victoria draws on a mix of relationship-focused and person-centred approaches to shape conversations. Sessions are tailored to the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

In the room she keeps language direct and practical. Conversations focus on identifying patterns, improving communication, and building day-to-day coping strategies. Therapy can include looking at past relationship dynamics and how they affect current choices and feelings.

Victoria describes her style as respectful, sensitive and compassionate. She works collaboratively to set goals and decide the pace of therapy. She encourages small steps and practical actions between sessions when these are helpful.

People often come for help with divorce and separation, midlife questions, workplace stress or struggles around self-love and guilt. Victoria uses techniques from attachment-based and emotionally focused work together with client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people make changes.

Her aim is to support and empower clients as they take steps towards clearer direction and better emotional balance. The work is practical and relational, focused on what matters most to the individual.

Online work that focuses on attachment and emotional connection

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships. It helps people spot recurring ways of relating, such as avoidance or clinginess, and try new, healthier responses in close relationships.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on emotional experience in relationships. It helps identify key emotions beneath conflicts and builds new ways to express needs and respond to a partner or oneself more effectively.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their goals at the heart of the process. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for issues like self-esteem, life purpose and grief.

Victoria will work with the client to choose the best combination of approaches. Deciding what fits comes through conversation about needs, goals and personal preferences. The plan can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video can be used for fuller face-to-face conversation, phone for quieter audio-only check-ins, and messaging or live chat for brief check-ins or when a shorter check-in fits someone's day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on relationships and emotional work.
