Victoria Postles, BACP

Victoria Postles is an integrative psychotherapist who works with individuals and couples, offering a considered relational space to explore difficulties, find clarity, and support meaningful change. Trained at Master's level and holding BACP accreditation (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), she brings five years of experience working with adults across a range of mental health settings and charities.

Her practice is flexible rather than prescriptive, combining elements from Person-Centred work, cognitive-behavioural strategies, Transactional Analysis, and psychodynamic perspectives to match the needs of each person she meets. This tailored approach pays attention to personal history, current circumstances, and the goals a client wants to reach, so therapy is shaped around the individual rather than a single model.

Therapy with Victoria supports people to recognise repeating patterns in thought, feeling, behaviour, and relationships, and to increase awareness so they can respond more deliberately instead of reacting automatically. The therapeutic relationship itself is used as a steady, non-judgemental place for exploration and repair, with practical steps taken alongside deeper emotional work to help everyday life feel more manageable and connected.

She commonly works with relationship and attachment issues, communication and conflict, anxiety including OCD, depression and stress, life transitions and identity questions, PTSD and complex grief including infant and pregnancy loss, chronic shame and low self-worth. Victoria also brings specialist experience in supporting infertility and loss as an Advanced Rainbow Therapist and in assisting people affected by coercive or manipulative relationship dynamics as a Narcissism-Aware Therapist. Her style is calm, relational, and grounded in self-compassion, aiming to meet people where they are and support change at a pace that feels sustainable.

Therapeutic approaches that guide online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic understanding and acceptance so clients can explore feelings, build self-worth, and make choices that suit their values; it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice, and personal responsibility, helping people face questions about purpose, loss, freedom, and identity; it can be especially useful for those coping with major life changes, grief, or feeling stuck.

Narrative Therapy examines the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, helping separate problems from identity and create alternative, more empowering narratives; it supports shifts in how people view patterns, roles, and possibilities.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Victoria works collaboratively with each person, exploring their needs, goals, and preferences to decide which ideas and methods to draw on together so therapy feels relevant and respectful of individual pace.

Online therapy with a registered professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier to access ongoing support, maintain continuity during life transitions, and fit therapeutic work into busy lives.
