About Emilia
Emilia Gonczar is a counsellor with 11 years of clinical experience who works in English and Polish. She holds a BACP credential and trained in psychoanalytic approaches after completing a Masters in Psychology at the University of Warsaw. Emilia has worked in a range of settings including psychiatric wards, charity services and independent practice.
She aims to help people make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings. Emilia pays attention to how past experiences connect with present relationships and behaviour.
Background and approach
She also attends to bodily responses alongside emotions and thoughts. Her style blends open listening with practical focus. Sessions are conversational and reflective, with space to notice patterns and to try small changes.
She draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship dynamics and on psychodynamic thinking to trace recurring themes. Emilia also uses solution-focused strategies to clarify goals and EMDR where trauma or painful memories are present. This mix lets her move between exploring roots and finding immediate, workable steps forward.
She describes her approach as holistic and person-centred. Many people come to discuss stress, parenting questions, anxiety, grief or family issues. She also works with concerns such as eating difficulties, attachment problems, caregiver stress and fatherhood issues.
Sessions aim to help people gain clearer perspective and practical ways to cope. Emilia welcomes international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Her practice operates through a cancellable subscription model and scheduling follows the site’s matching process.

How Emilia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and reactions. Online sessions use discussion and reflective exercises to identify patterns in how people connect with others and how that affects parenting or close relationships.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting people to find their own solutions. In remote work this means the counsellor offers a calm, listening presence while helping the client set goals and notice what feels most helpful.
EMDR is used when painful memories or trauma need addressing; it combines talking with bilateral stimulation to reduce the emotional charge of difficult memories. When appropriate, elements of EMDR can be adapted for online sessions with clear guidance and step-by-step pacing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Emilia will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods best fit the client’s needs. That collaborative process can shift over time as new issues arise or progress is made.
Online therapy brings practical benefits. Video calls let people use facial cues and tone, phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around parenting, work and daily life while keeping continuity across sessions.
