About Victoria
Victoria Swart is a counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other evidence-informed methods to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She has seven years of experience and holds NCPS as a professional credential. Victoria writes plainly and meets clients where they are, offering calm, practical support for common struggles.
She helps people with stress, anxiety and depression and also works with trauma, grief and loss. She supports those wrestling with self-esteem, identity and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
Addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain and coping with life changes are also within her focus. Victoria draws on a blend of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to match the work to each person. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at patterns in close relationships, and client-centred listening shapes the pace of sessions.
This means therapy is collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Sessions can take the form of video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. She also accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and books a time that suits them. Victoria aims to make the first steps straightforward and supportive so clients can focus on their goals.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Victoria uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change how they react in emotional moments, which can ease patterns that cause distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people clarify values and build small, workable steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people try new ways of relating in the present.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest options to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as the work unfolds so the approach fits the person rather than the other way round.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat suits those who prefer typing, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
