About Emilia Gonczar

Emilia Gonczar provides therapy in both English and Polish, drawing on extensive clinical training and hands-on experience. She completed a Masters in Psychology at the University of Warsaw and followed this with a four-year psychoanalytical training at The Institute of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, building a foundation in depth-oriented approaches to mental health.

Her background includes work across a range of psychiatric settings - including the Clinic of Neurosis, Personality and Eating Disorders, an acute psychiatric ward, and a children and adolescent ward - as well as roles with charities such as Rethink Mental Illness - The National Schizophrenia Fellowship and work in private practice. These varied placements have informed a flexible, informed approach to complex presentations.

Emilia aims to help people deepen their understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the recurring thoughts, desires, and fears that shape daily life. She emphasizes how past experiences are connected to present patterns and takes a holistic view that includes attention to bodily experience. Further writing and resources are available on her blog at https://mind-and-body.blog/.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can choose the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from a distance.

Therapists who offer remote sessions are licensed professionals, and if the fit does not feel right clients can switch to a different therapist at any time. Online work can broaden access to experienced therapists and support continuity of care for those with geographic or scheduling constraints.
