Victoria Gonticas is a UK-qualified integrative therapist with three years of professional experience, offering a compassionate and tailored approach to emotional and relational difficulties. She works with people experiencing stress and anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, issues with motivation and self-esteem, bereavement, and career-related concerns, adapting her methods to meet each person's distinct needs.

Victoria places respect, sensitivity, and empathy at the centre of her practice. She collaborates with clients to shape conversations and treatment plans that reflect their priorities and circumstances, believing that therapy is a personal process that benefits from flexibility and understanding. Her aim is to support clients as they explore what matters to them and take practical steps toward greater wellbeing.

Holding BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Victoria combines professional standards with a warm, encouraging presence. She recognises that seeking change takes courage, and she focuses on empowering people through attentive listening, thoughtful reflection, and practical strategies suited to their goals. Victoria provides a steady, nonjudgmental space for clients to examine challenges and build the skills needed for more satisfying relationships and day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and the Flexibility of Online Work

Victoria regularly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and attachment needs; this approach can be helpful for people struggling with trust, abandonment fears, or difficulties forming secure connections. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a person-focused method that prioritises empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own goals to foster self-exploration and personal growth. Additionally, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is employed to help partners or individuals identify and reshape the emotional responses that maintain relationship distress and disconnection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Victoria works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the selection of techniques as flexible, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so clients feel involved and supported in shaping their work together.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking help, including the convenience of video calls and phone sessions as well as the immediacy of live chat and text-based messaging. These options increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility, making it easier for people to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while maintaining continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists.
