Victoria Postles, BACP

Victoria Postles is a counsellor who helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self‑esteem and depression. She also supports people navigating parenting, career strain, chronic health challenges, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Victoria holds BACP accreditation and works with adults from the United Kingdom and beyond. She adopts a gentle, person‑centred style that puts the client’s experience first. Sessions focus on understanding repeating patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Victoria aims to help people notice their automatic reactions and choose different responses in daily life. Her approach draws on Client‑Centred Therapy alongside existential and narrative ideas to make sense of life events. Conversations look at personal meanings, identity shifts and how past experiences shape present relationships. The goal is clearer self‑awareness rather than quick fixes. In practical terms Victoria helps clients turn insight into change. That might mean trying small new behaviours, practising different ways of talking in relationships, or learning ways to manage strong emotions. She balances emotional depth with useful, everyday steps. Victoria has five years of named professional experience and additional background supporting issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism and blended family concerns. She works collaboratively and aims to move at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and on building a warm, accepting relationship. In practice this looks like the counsellor listening closely, reflecting feelings, and helping the client find their own answers to relationship and emotional problems. Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, identity and life choices. It can help when people feel stuck during major life changes, face questions about purpose, or struggle with feelings of loss and uncertainty. Narrative Therapy involves examining the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. By separating problems from identity, this approach can open up new ways of acting and relating. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Victoria works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She helps clients try different ways of working and checks in about what feels most helpful. If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow appointments around work or family schedules. It can also allow for shorter check‑ins or flexible timing when that suits the client better.
