Victoria Swart is a counsellor who combines practical talking therapy with compassionate support. She uses clear, down-to-earth language to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Victoria has seven years of experience and holds NCPS, which is listed as her credential.

She offers straightforward help for self-esteem issues, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy-related concerns. Victoria also works with people dealing with career stress, anger, bipolar conditions, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She can support those navigating adoption, abandonment, attachment difficulties and communication problems. Her approach is integrative. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred methods.

Sessions focus on practical steps, noticing patterns, and building skills that can be used between appointments. Victoria has experience in both independent practice and voluntary settings. She has also provided services through an online counselling provider and volunteered for a suicide prevention charity.

That variety of work informs a flexible, empathetic way of working with people from different backgrounds. People who meet her can expect a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere and a pace set by their needs. She aims to help clients identify small, manageable changes and to build on them over time.

Victoria accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to clarify what matters and build small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to change those patterns. In remote sessions CBT can include worksheets, behavioural experiments and real-time coaching to try new habits between appointments. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how past bonds shape current reactions; it can help with intimacy-related issues and communication problems in a calm, reflective way.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means discussing what is and isn’t helping, trying a few techniques, and adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit a short slot during a break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, journalling-style exchanges or when someone prefers not to use a camera. These options make it easier to attend regularly and to use therapy alongside daily life.
