About Victoria

Victoria Postles brings a calm, relational approach to people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or big life changes. She is Victoria Postles, BACP, and she aims to help people make sense of repeating patterns in relationships and daily life. Sessions are intended to build understanding, choice, and practical steps people can try between meetings.

Her style is collaborative and personable. She uses client-centred, existential, and narrative ideas to shape conversations. That means she pays attention to a person's lived experience, the stories they tell about themselves, and the meanings they make. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness rather than quick fixes.

Victoria has five years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Her work covers a broad range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and codependency, along with related matters such as attachment and communication problems.

In sessions she helps people name patterns, notice how past and present link, and practise different ways of responding. The aim is steady change that fits everyday life and feels manageable. She supports people through grief, anger, career questions, chronic health stresses, and relationship difficulties.

People who come to Victoria can expect a listening, non-judgemental therapeutic space where practical ideas are grounded in personal meaning. She works at a pace set by the individual and seeks to translate insight into small, realistic steps forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy centres on the individual's experience and aims to create a caring, accepting therapeutic relationship. It helps people who need a listening space to explore feelings and make their own choices. Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, responsibility and life choices; it can help when someone feels lost during major life changes or questions their identity. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories in ways that free them from unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which ideas to follow and try different ways of working if something does not fit.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also allow people to meet with a therapist who is based in the United Kingdom while living elsewhere. Ask about practical arrangements and session length when you schedule so they match everyday life and commitments.
