About Emilia

Emilia Gonczar brings 11 years of experience to her work as a counsellor. She sees people in English and Polish and draws on a background in psychology and psychoanalytic training. Emilia aims to make sessions feel straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.

She trained with a four-year psychoanalytical programme after earning a Masters in Psychology from the University of Warsaw. Her clinical background includes work on psychiatric wards and with mental health charities, as well as independent practice.

Background and approach

Those roles shaped how she notices links between past experience and present-day feelings. Emilia uses approaches that look at relationships and patterns of feeling. She pays attention to thoughts, desires and fears, and to how the body holds emotional experience.

Sessions are conversational and reflective, with practical steps when they help. People come to her for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing parenting stress, career change, body image difficulties and caring responsibilities.

Additional areas include adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family issues. Her style blends longer thinking about how past experiences shape the present with solution-focused moments to manage immediate problems. Emilia aims to help clients understand themselves more clearly and to find ways to cope that fit their lives.

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.

Approach to online therapy and therapeutic methods

Emilia combines attachment-based thinking with psychodynamic reflection to help people understand patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. Attachment-based work looks at relationship needs and how people connect, while psychodynamic work helps uncover repeated patterns and unconscious themes that influence feelings and choices.

She also uses elements of solution-focused work to build short-term steps and practical coping strategies. Solution-focused methods look for small, achievable changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Together these approaches mean sessions can move between deeper exploration and concrete actions depending on what a person needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Emilia sees it as a collaborative process. She will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's goals, preferences and the issues they bring. This shared planning helps ensure therapy fits around life commitments and the problems you want to tackle.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and working through emotional material, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, written reflections or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work across different locations.
