Victoria Swart , NCPS

Victoria Swart is a counsellor who draws on several well-established approaches to help people navigate hard times. She uses practical methods to address stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Victoria works with issues around identity, grief, self-esteem and relationships, and she supports people facing addiction, bipolar challenges and major life changes.

Victoria holds NCPS, which indicates a recognised professional credential, and she has seven years of experience in counselling and related work. Her background includes work in both private practice and voluntary settings, giving her experience with a wide range of concerns. She speaks English and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

In sessions she prefers straightforward, collaborative work. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with attachment-informed and emotionally-focused ideas. This means she helps people notice thoughts and feelings, identify what matters to them, and try practical steps that match their goals.

People can expect clear, manageable strategies alongside time to talk through painful experiences. Victoria pays attention to patterns in relationships, body image, and family roles, and she helps people develop coping skills for sleep, eating and anger problems. She also supports parents who are feeling overwhelmed by caregiving and career pressures.

Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session.

Online approaches that focus on values and relationships

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to clarify what matters most to them and to take small actions that align with those values. It helps with anxiety, depression and life changes by teaching simple exercises to notice thoughts and move forward anyway.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical tasks and short experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and reactions, and they can help with intimacy, communication and trust issues.

Victoria treats finding the best approach as a team effort. She will discuss your goals and preferences and try approaches that fit your situation. That way the work stays focused on what you want to change and what feels realistic for you.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can be handy for brief check-ins or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities and other commitments.
