Victoria Swart, NCPS

Victoria Swart, NCPS, is an accredited Integrative Therapist who combines a range of evidence-informed methods to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and other life challenges. She maintains a private practice, has worked with Betterhelp, and volunteers with a suicide and suicide prevention charity, which reflects a commitment to both clinical work and community support.

Her experience spans life coaching, anxiety and stress management, depression, trauma and loss, bereavement, identity and transition work, and building self-esteem and confidence. This varied background allows her to draw on different tools to meet each client where they are and tailor sessions to individual needs.

As a trained professional who also recognises the human side of seeking help, she acknowledges how daunting the first step can feel. She works without judgement and aims to create a supportive environment where practical strategies and personal goals are explored together. Victoria seeks to help clients identify achievable steps and to build skills that support longer term wellbeing.

Those ready to begin can expect an initial consultation designed to clarify goals and determine whether she is the right fit to accompany them on their counselling journey.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action aligned with their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, avoidance, and situations where life changes make it hard to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and building practical coping skills.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and relationship dynamics that influence current emotional responses. It can be especially helpful for people working through trauma, relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and attachment challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and will be a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adapting methods so sessions feel relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical benefits including flexible scheduling and easier access for those in different locations. Sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their life and communication style while working with registered professionals and therapists.
