About Emilia
Emilia Gonczar is a BACP counsellor with eleven years of clinical experience. She offers therapy in English and Polish and draws on work in hospitals, charities and independent practice to guide people through distressing life moments. She helps people make sense of difficult feelings such as anxiety, depression, grief and stress.
She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting pressures and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on the concerns you bring. Emilia trained in psychoanalytic approaches after completing a master's degree in psychology at the University of Warsaw. That background shapes how she notices patterns that link past experiences with present problems.
She also pays attention to how the body holds emotion and stress. Her practice blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and solution-focused steps. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is part of the approaches she uses for trauma work.
She will explain options and help choose what suits you. People can expect a calm, reflective space to talk and to work through practical steps between sessions. Emilia writes about mind-body connections on her blog and uses that perspective in therapy.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging for flexibility.

Online support
How online therapy and therapeutic approach work together
Emilia draws on attachment-based thinking to notice how early relationships affect current struggles. This approach looks at patterns in how people connect and helps change repeating hurtful dynamics in relationships.She also uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. That means listening deeply, reflecting what is said and helping clients find their own solutions rather than imposing answers.
For trauma-related difficulties she includes Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, known as EMDR. EMDR involves structured processing of painful memories and can be used alongside talking work to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Emilia will talk with each person about their problems, goals and preferences and will suggest options. The plan is agreed together and can change as work progresses.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people work face to face when travel is difficult. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide ongoing support between calls or when typing feels easier than speaking.
