About Victoria

Victoria Postles works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting matters, anger, career strains, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She uses a conversational, relational approach and encourages clients to make sense of patterns and find clearer ways to respond to difficult feelings. Victoria is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience in this role.

Victoria offers short, plain discussion and longer reflective work depending on what someone needs. She helps people notice repeating thoughts and behaviours and links these to past and current relationships. That can make it easier to decide on small, practical changes to day-to-day life.

Her way of working draws on client-centred, existential and narrative approaches. Sessions emphasise the person's perspective and life story and use those to uncover meaning and options. The therapist pays attention to feelings, choices and the stories people tell about themselves.

Victoria also supports a broad range of related issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, blended family matters, body image, chronic illness and disability, communication and control problems, and caregiving stress. She is comfortable discussing complex grief, cancer-related distress and problems linked to autism and Asperger syndrome.

The practical arrangements for sessions, including precise formats, should be confirmed before booking so clients know which options are offered and suit them.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and present experience, helping people feel listened to and clearer about their needs. It is useful for low self-esteem, stress and relationship concerns.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in someone's life, helping when people face life transitions, identity questions or deep uncertainty.

Narrative Therapy uses the stories a person tells about themselves to separate problems from the person and to open up alternative ways of living. This can be helpful for trauma, grief and patterns that feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss which methods suit a client's goals and preferences and decide together how to combine them. The process is collaborative and reviewed as needed to make sure it still fits.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work or family time and avoiding travel. Some people prefer a shorter, phone-based check-in when time is limited, while others choose a longer conversational session. The exact session formats offered are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
