Victoria Swart , NCPS

Victoria Swart is an accredited integrative therapist who combines professional training with practical experience to support people facing a wide range of emotional challenges. She maintains a private practice, has provided services through Betterhelp, and volunteers with a suicide and suicide-prevention charity, bringing both clinical skills and lived compassion to her work.

Her background includes life coaching and therapeutic work with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, loss and bereavement, identity and transition issues, and concerns about self-esteem and confidence. As a trained counsellor she aims to help clients explore their priorities and develop tangible strategies for change while recognising how daunting it can feel to reach out for help.

Victoria offers a nonjudgmental, supportive therapeutic presence and works collaboratively with each person to identify goals and practical steps toward them. She seeks to create a respectful space where experiences can be examined openly and solutions can be explored together.

Victoria holds the NCPS credential, a counselling-related professional qualification, and brings seven years of experience to her practice. She invites anyone who feels ready to take a first step to arrange an initial consultation and consider beginning a counselling journey with her.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It combines practical exercises with values-based goals to help someone move toward a more meaningful life even when emotions are challenging - useful for anxiety, stress, and issues that involve avoidance.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns in intimacy and trust. It explores attachment styles and relational wounds to help people improve connections with partners, family members, and themselves, making it helpful for relationship difficulties and attachment issues.

Victoria approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She views finding the right therapeutic approach as part of the process and adapts methods as progress and understanding grow.

Online therapy with Victoria can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or while traveling, and they allow people to choose the format that best supports their engagement and progress with a licensed professional.
