In the 2012–13 season, Gosviani was the third alternate for a place at the senior Russian Championships and was admitted after three skaters withdrew. She finished sixth in her debut at the event. With several skaters above her not age-eligible, Gosviani was named to the Russian team for the European Championships.

She was twelfth in the short, fifth in the free, and sixth overall.

She won the short program and placed second in the free to win the silver medal overall behind Haruka Imai of Japan.[5] Gosviani was assigned to the 2013 Cup of China after Polina Korobeynikova withdrew.[6] She placed fifth at the event, which was her senior Grand Prix debut.[7] She finished eighth at the 2013 Rostelecom Cup and ninth at the 2014 Russian Championships. In July 2014, she decided to train in Moscow.[8] Soon after, she tore ligaments in her ankle, causing her to miss the entire 2014–15 season.[9]
