About Victoria
Counsellor and BACP member Victoria Postles offers short- and longer-term talking therapy in the United Kingdom. She has five years of direct practice and works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and trauma-related issues.
Victoria uses approaches that place the client's experience at the centre of sessions. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely to how clients describe their lives. She also uses Existential Therapy to look at meaning and choice, and Narrative Therapy to examine the stories people tell about themselves.
In a first meeting she helps people map out their immediate concerns and what they want from counselling. Sessions aim to make repeating patterns clearer and to open up more choices in how someone responds to stress or conflict.
Her way of working is conversational and reflective. Victoria helps people notice internal patterns, relationship dynamics, and habits that cause distress. She then supports practical steps to change day-to-day responses.
Victoria accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Before booking, clients are asked to use the site questionnaire and arrange an initial session so they and Victoria can agree the best plan.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Victoria uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the client's own experience, listening for what matters most to the person and following their lead. This approach suits people who want a listening-based space to make sense of feelings and decisions.She also works with Existential Therapy, which looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. That approach can help when someone is facing major life changes or questions about direction. Narrative Therapy is used to examine and reframe the stories people tell about themselves, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, identity concerns and relationship patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Victoria will discuss goals, worries and preferences in early sessions and agree together which methods to use. The plan can change as the work progresses so the approach fits what the client needs.
Session arrangements are not listed here, so check the site before booking to confirm how sessions are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow sessions during shorter breaks. Some formats need less bandwidth or work without video, which can suit different practical needs.
