Victoria Postles, BACP
Victoria Postles is a counsellor who helps people working through depression, anxiety, stress and life changes.
About Victoria
Victoria Postles is a counsellor who helps people working through depression, anxiety, stress and life changes. She offers a steady, non-judgemental space where individuals can talk about what feels overwhelming and start to find clearer ways forward. Her manner is calm and attentive, aimed at making difficult feelings easier to name.
With five years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she blends several human-centred approaches to suit each person.
Background and approach
Victoria uses Client-Centred Therapy to build trust and explore what matters most to the client. She also draws on Existential and Narrative ideas to help people make sense of personal history and life choices. In sessions she helps people spot repeating patterns in relationships and behaviour.
That includes work on grief, low self-esteem, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Conversations are practical as well as reflective, so insight can lead to everyday changes. Victoria pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves and the roles they play.
By gently testing unhelpful assumptions, she aims to increase choice and reduce automatic reactions. This approach supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, chronic illness and compassion fatigue. She offers a collaborative pace, encouraging self-compassion while working towards clearer goals.
People meet a therapist who balances depth and practical help when navigating complex emotions and life transitions.

Online support
Existential Therapy helps people look at life choices, meaning and identity. Online conversations can be used to examine values, life transitions and what matters most, helping clients clarify direction when they feel stuck.
Narrative Therapy works by separating the person from their problems and re-authoring unhelpful stories. In remote sessions the therapist and client map the stories together and identify new, more helpful ways of seeing things.
Finding the best approach is part of the work itself. Victoria will discuss goals, preferences and how each method might help, then tailor a collaborative plan. The client and therapist decide together what to try and adjust when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversation and visual contact. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging can be useful for short check-ins or for people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options give flexibility to arrange therapy around everyday life and different needs.
