About Victoria
Victoria Postles is a counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, grief and changes in life. She works with individuals to untangle patterns that keep them stuck and to build clearer ways of responding. Victoria aims to create a calm, relational space where people can feel heard and begin to make practical changes.
She takes a person-centred approach, tailoring the work to each person rather than following a fixed method.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on making sense of repeating thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and on increasing awareness so people can make different choices. The therapist uses compassion and steady listening as a base for change. Victoria draws on existential and narrative ideas alongside person-centred work.
This means she helps people explore life meaning, identity, and the stories they tell about themselves. Therapy can include looking at past experiences and how they shape current relationships and reactions. Her background includes five years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She has worked across mental health settings and with charities, supporting people with long-term difficulties as well as more recent issues. Practical goals in sessions can be rebuilding self-esteem, managing anxiety, processing loss, or improving communication. The emphasis is on steady progress at a pace that feels safe, with attention to real-life changes that improve day-to-day wellbeing.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-directive relationship that helps people feel understood and accepted. It suits issues like low self-worth, anxiety and grief where being heard helps make change possible.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and identity. It can help when people face life transitions, feel lost, or want to re-evaluate priorities and values.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from unhelpful stories they tell about who they are. This approach supports people who want to reframe difficulties such as trauma reactions, attachment patterns or ongoing self-criticism.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods accordingly. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as needs change.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can work for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings and varying communication styles, while still allowing for meaningful therapeutic progress.
