About Victoria
Victoria Postles is a BACP counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She helps with relationship and family difficulties, parenting questions, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger and career stress. Victoria also works with people coping with compassion fatigue, ADHD and complex struggles such as chronic illness or caregiving strain.
She uses a person-centred, relational way of working. Sessions focus on understanding patterns and making sense of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that repeat in life and relationships.
Background and approach
The aim is to increase awareness so people can make different choices rather than react automatically. Victoria blends depth with practical steps. Conversations look at core emotions and past influences, while also identifying small, doable changes for day-to-day life.
That mix suits people who want both insight and clearer coping strategies. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Existential Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her approach. These methods inform how she listens, helps people tell their story differently, and encourages reflection on meaning and values.
Victoria has five years of experience working in mental health settings and charities. She works with adults and offers sessions online through video calls, phone, live chat or messaging. Sessions may be arranged internationally for English-speaking clients.
People who choose her can expect a calm, steady presence and a pace set by their needs. The focus is on helping clients build self-compassion, clearer understanding and workable changes over time.

Approaches Victoria lists

How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The therapist offers a non-judgemental space where people can talk through feelings and discover their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-worth and relationship worries.Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, choice and values. It invites reflection about life transitions, identity and big questions that can drive distress. That approach supports those grappling with life changes, career decisions or a sense of being stuck.
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Sessions work to reframe or rewrite unhelpful narratives so different possibilities become visible, which can aid coping with trauma, grief and communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods suit each person. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions make fitting therapy into life easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, slower reflection or people who prefer writing. These formats offer flexibility to work around work, caregiving and travel commitments.
