About Victoria
Victoria Gonticas is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She works with issues such as grief, intimacy problems, self-esteem and career strain.
Background and approach
Victoria brings a calm, respectful manner to conversations and focuses on practical next steps. She draws on approaches that include the Gottman Method and attachment-based thinking to understand patterns in relationships.
Victoria also uses client-centred ways of working so people feel heard and involved in decisions about their care. Sessions are shaped around the person sitting in front of her, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Victoria holds BACP accreditation, which indicates her professional registration in the UK. She has three years of experience working with individuals on emotional and life challenges.
That background has given her experience with trauma, anger, communication difficulties and issues around abandonment and shame. In sessions she aims to create straightforward, practical conversations.
That might mean naming a repeated reaction, trying a new way to speak with a partner, or practising short exercises for anxiety and grounding. Plans change as needs change, and she reviews progress with each person.
People who want a collaborative style will find a friendly tone and a steady focus on workable steps. Victoria supports people exploring life purpose, midlife concerns, non-monogamous relationship questions and workplace stress.
She offers services in English from the United Kingdom.
How online approaches and relationship work connect
Victoria often combines the Gottman Method with attachment-based ideas. The Gottman Method focuses on observable patterns between people and practical skills for communication and conflict. It can help with recurring fights, trust issues and rebuilding emotional connection. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship reactions and aims to shift those patterns to create more supported responses.She also uses client-centred techniques that put the person at the heart of the work. That approach prioritises listening, empathy and what each person wants to change. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss goals, test approaches and adjust plans to suit a client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be a shorter check-in or fit into a busy day. These formats make it easier to access work around relationships, anxiety and life transitions without needing to travel.
