Emilia Gonczar

Emilia Gonczar is a counsellor with 11 years' experience who works in English and Polish. She holds a Master’s in Psychology from the University of Warsaw and is registered with the BACP. Her background includes work in psychiatric wards, charity settings and private practice, and she aims to help people make sense of difficult feelings and relationships.

She focuses on how past experiences shape today's thoughts, emotions and behaviour. Emilia uses a holistic view that includes attention to the body as well as the mind. In sessions she helps people talk through conflicting thoughts, fears and desires, and to build clearer understanding of their environment and relationships.

Her clinical experience includes settings such as the Clinic of Neurosis, Personality and Eating Disorders, acute psychiatric wards and a children and adolescent ward, along with charity work at Rethink Mental Illness. That variety informs a flexible, grounded approach to common problems like anxiety, depression, stress and grief.

Emilia lists a broad range of concerns she works with, including relationship difficulties, parenting strain, body image and eating issues, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also notes additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues and caregiver stress. Her practice aims to help people move from stuck patterns toward clearer choices.

Her style blends attachment-based and psychodynamic thinking with client-centred listening and solution-focused work. She also uses EMDR and somatic-informed ideas when appropriate, aiming to match approach to each person's needs and goals.

How Emilia’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises understanding patterns in relationships and emotional bonds. It helps people notice how early connections shape current reactions and supports building new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard without judgement and on the person's own goals. It is useful for increasing self-understanding and confidence in making changes.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Emilia will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening-focused work with targeted exercises or body-aware practices over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to access support in English or Polish from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often tailor session length and pace to suit day-to-day life, helping therapy fit around work, family and other commitments.
