About Emilia
Emilia Gonczar is a counsellor with 11 years of experience who works in English and Polish. She holds a Master in Psychology from the University of Warsaw and is a BACP member. Emilia draws on a long clinical background that includes work on psychiatric wards, charity settings and private practice.
She helps people make sense of difficult feelings and confusing relationships. Sessions focus on understanding how the past connects with present patterns. Emilia uses a whole-person view and pays attention to both thoughts and bodily experience.
Her approach mixes talking therapies that look at attachment and life history with practical, solution-focused work. She also uses EMDR and psychodynamic ideas to address trauma, grief and deep-seated relationship patterns. This means some sessions look at past events, while others focus on steps to manage everyday stress and anxiety.
Clients come for a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and relationship issues. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating and body-image worries, caregiver stress and major life changes. Emilia has experience with adoption and foster care matters and fatherhood issues.
People who choose her often want calm, reflective conversations that still lead to practical change. The therapist aims to help clients recognise unhelpful patterns, try small experiments in daily life and build clearer ways of being with themselves and others.
How Emilia's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current ways of relating. Online sessions can be used to explore these patterns and practise different responses in everyday life.Client-centred therapy offers a listening, non-directive space where people lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and supports. This approach helps with low self-esteem, uncertainty and life transitions by encouraging clearer self-understanding.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge; it is used when past events continue to cause strong reactions in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emilia will talk with you about goals, needs and preferences and together you will agree which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel useful and manageable.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online options can make it easier to keep regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed and let a person choose quieter times of day. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so you know how best to arrange appointments.
