About Victoria

Victoria Swart is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has seven years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Victoria also supports those coping with addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting concerns and major life changes.

Her background includes work in private practice and volunteering with a suicide prevention charity. Victoria has experience that spans life coaching, bereavement, identity and transition concerns. She describes her work as practical and rooted in everyday language rather than clinical jargon.

Victoria draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her main approaches. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy where these fit a person’s needs. Sessions usually focus on emotions, patterns and steps a person can take between meetings.

In sessions she listens for what people are finding hard to name and helps them put those feelings into words. Conversations aim to identify small, doable changes and ways of coping that suit a person’s daily life. Her practice also includes work around abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, codependency and communication problems.

Victoria offers counselling in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session via the online options button.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the patterns that keep them repeating. It can help when people feel stuck in recurring emotional responses or relationship-related patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that fit their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences and will adapt sessions as understanding grows. The choice is collaborative and may combine elements from the approaches above depending on the presenting issues.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions more accessible for people living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals will explain practical arrangements and help schedule sessions that work around everyday life.
