About Victoria

Victoria Swart NCPS is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, addictions, career changes and parenting pressures.

Victoria draws on a mix of well-known therapeutic approaches to suit practical problems. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thoughts and build workable habits. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) inform how she looks at connection and relationship patterns.

Her background includes private practice work and volunteering for a suicide prevention charity. She has also provided life coaching and online counselling experience. This range shapes sessions that are straightforward and focused on what clients want to change or manage.

Sessions aim to be practical and conversational. She talks through coping tools, behaviour changes and ways to manage intense feelings such as anger. Work can include looking at past experiences that affect current reactions and practising new ways of responding.

Clients who prefer English can work with her, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches work for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often useful for stress, anxiety and anger that gets in the way of everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour and trying practical experiments to change them. It can help with low mood, worry, sleep problems and managing strong reactions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current responses and aims to change patterns that cause repeated conflict or isolation. It can be helpful when difficulties link back to early experiences or attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That keeps the work collaborative and focused on what the person wants to change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals experienced in online practice can adapt exercises and tools so they work across a screen or a call.
