About Victoria

Victoria Postles is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, career pressure, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She also focuses on codependency, attachment and communication problems among other related areas.

Her style is practical and relational. She uses client-centred, existential and narrative ways of working to help people notice repeating patterns and make clearer choices. Sessions are conversational and aimed at increasing everyday understanding rather than delivering labels.

Victoria helps people make sense of how past experiences shape current behaviour. She pays attention to attachment and how it shows up in relationships. That can help when someone keeps putting others first, struggles to set boundaries, or feels stuck in people-pleasing habits.

She supports people who are grieving, managing long-term health issues, or dealing with complicated loss. Work can include talking through emotions, identifying unhelpful scripts, and testing small changes outside sessions. The emphasis is on practical steps that fit into daily life.

Victoria’s approach combines conversational listening with reflective exercises and narrative techniques. She draws on existential questions about meaning when people face major life changes. Over time the aim is clearer self-understanding and more conscious choices about relationships and responsibilities.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Victoria uses client-centred work to focus on what matters to the individual. That approach prioritises listening and reflecting back what someone notices about their feelings and choices, which can help with anxiety, low self-worth and relationship patterns.

She also draws on narrative therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves. That method helps put unhelpful scripts into words and try alternative ways of describing problems like codependency or chronic guilt.

Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. Victoria will discuss what feels most useful at the start and adapt methods as needs, goals and preferences become clearer. The therapeutic plan can change as progress unfolds.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving and medical appointments, and to use reflective exercises between sessions.
