About Victoria
NCPS. 7 years' experience. Victoria Swart works with adults on a wide range of concerns using an integrative approach that draws on several evidence-based methods.
Victoria addresses stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also helps with self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger, career questions and coping with life changes. Additional areas listed include abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Her practice blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying practical steps and trying different ways of responding. She also brings experience from life coaching and volunteer work with a suicide and suicide prevention charity.
Victoria describes herself as a qualified counsellor who understands how hard it can feel to ask for help. She aims to work without judgement and to look at concrete options clients can try between sessions. Conversations focus on goals the person sets and ways to reduce immediate distress.
She has run a private practice and worked for online counselling services. The practice welcomes people who speak English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session when ready.
How therapeutic approaches inform online counselling
Victoria commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Attachment-Based ideas. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports people aiming to live more in line with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful routines. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and helps people understand how past bonds affect current connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which fits their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying one method for a few sessions and adapting if something else would be more useful.
The biography indicates experience with online counselling but does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to offer flexibility for people balancing work, family or other commitments.
