About Victoria

Victoria Gonticas is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom. She has three years of professional practice and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem and career challenges. She aims to treat people with sensitivity and respect while tailoring conversations to each person's needs.

Victoria believes the first step towards change takes courage, and she offers steady support while clients find their feet. Sessions focus on honest dialogue and practical steps that suit each person's life. She encourages small, achievable shifts rather than dramatic overhauls.

Her approach draws on several ways of working so therapy can be shaped to what helps most. Attachment-based ideas guide understanding of close relationships and patterns that repeat over time. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and respond to strong feelings in relationships. Client-Centred work keeps the session focused on the client's priorities and pace.

Victoria also uses relationship methods such as the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy when relevant to a client's concerns. These tools support clearer communication and rebuild connection in stressed partnerships. She combines these methods to create a personal plan for each person she meets.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current responses. Online sessions can help identify repeating relationship cycles and build new ways of relating to partners or loved ones. Client-Centred Therapy places the client's priorities at the centre and uses empathic listening to let people set the pace. This approach helps people clarify what matters most and make decisions with the counsellor's support. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognise and work with strong emotions in relationships, aiming to improve connection and reduce conflict.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss which methods might fit a person's situation, goals and preferences. Together they will try an approach and adjust the way they work if something does not feel helpful.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and avoiding travel time. Online work can be easier to schedule around work or childcare and may let someone join from a quieter location or with less disruption to the day. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking to find a setup that fits daily routines and communication needs.
