Victoria Postles, BACP

Victoria Postles offers help for stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She supports people facing life changes, relationship or family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting concerns, anger and career strain. Victoria also focuses on compassion fatigue and ADHD, alongside a wide range of related challenges such as communication problems and control issues.

She prefers a straightforward, relational way of working that puts the person at the centre. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each individual. Victoria listens for patterns in feelings and behaviour and helps people notice options they may not have seen before.

Her background includes five years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership reflects a commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

In sessions she uses approaches that centre the client's experience, examine life meaning, and look at the stories people tell about themselves. Therapy is practical as well as reflective - the aim is to translate insight into small, manageable changes people can try between meetings.

Victoria works with a wide range of concerns such as attachment issues, chronic illness and pain, body image, caregiver stress, and complex grief. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, autism-related questions, blended family dynamics, and commitment or codependency struggles.

People can expect a calm, attentive style. The focus is on building understanding, increasing choice in relationships and behaviour, and finding ways to move forward that feel realistic and sustainable.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the person find their own answers. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Existential Therapy examines questions about meaning, choice and identity. It helps when life changes or uncertainty leave someone feeling stuck or lost, and invites honest reflection about values and direction.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and the role those stories play. Rewriting problematic narratives can reduce shame, improve self-worth and shift how someone responds in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to the person's needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way. People often try different emphases over time as new issues emerge.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in, and live chat or text is useful for brief updates or when writing feels easier. These options increase flexibility and make it possible to keep continuity during life changes.
