About Emilia

Emilia Gonczar is a counsellor with eleven years of experience who works in English and Polish. She holds a Masters in Psychology from the University of Warsaw and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Emilia has worked across psychiatric wards, charities and personal settings, and brings that breadth into her practice.

She helps people understand themselves and their relationships in straightforward terms. Sessions look at how past events and current life connect.

Background and approach

Emilia notices how the body and emotions interact and brings that into conversations. Her approach mixes longer-term exploration and shorter-term focus. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns and attachment-based thinking to understand relationship habits.

Solution-focused ways of working are used when clients want practical steps and clearer goals. Emilia also offers eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, and she pays attention to bodily signals in sessions. This combination can suit people coping with trauma, grief, stress or ongoing relationship struggles.

She adapts her tone to what each person needs, from reflective to action-oriented. Practical matters are kept simple. Sessions are available via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

International clients may be supported in English or Polish, and the subscription-based booking system allows scheduling to fit different routines.

Ways of working Emilia names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings and behaviour; it helps people who want to understand why they repeat the same relationship dynamics. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment and offers non-directive listening so people can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, often shortened to EMDR, is used to help people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Emilia will discuss the options and help decide what fits a person's goals, history and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and can shift as needs change during therapy.

Online sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to join, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent when routines change.
