About Victoria
Victoria Postles is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting strains, career concerns, and trauma. Victoria works with people who are managing chronic illness, caring responsibilities, ADHD, anger and compassion fatigue.
Victoria draws on Existential therapy together with client-centred and narrative approaches. Sessions focus on understanding repeating patterns and the choices available in everyday life.
Background and approach
She aims to help people turn insight into manageable steps that fit their situation. Her way of working is calm and relational. Victoria offers time to talk about feelings, make sense of difficult experiences, and practise new responses.
The emphasis is on a steady, non-judgemental relationship rather than quick fixes. Victoria is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings five years of experience working in mental health settings alongside additional focus areas such as attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family matters, body image, chronic pain and illness, and caregiver stress.
Sessions may include talking through past events, noticing how current relationships affect behaviour, and re-authoring personal stories to reduce shame and increase choice. She supports people to build self-compassion and sustainable change at a pace that feels manageable.

Online support
How Victoria’s approaches work online
Existential therapy invites people to consider meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. It helps when someone feels stuck, lost or overwhelmed by life changes by looking at what matters to them and what gets in the way of living consistently with those values.Client-centred therapy focuses on the relationship in the room. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects back what they hear, which can help people feel understood and begin to trust their own responses.
Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. Rewriting those stories can reduce shame, open up new possibilities and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning means the work can shift over time as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video can suit deeper conversational work when visual contact helps. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief reflections or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy days, while keeping contact consistent across locations.
