About Victoria
Victoria Swart, NCPS, works in a warm, person-centred way to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and codependency concerns. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical, helping clients set small steps they can use between meetings. Her manner is down-to-earth and calm, aimed at people who feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start.
Victoria has seven years of experience in counselling and related work. She has supported people through loss, bereavement and major life transitions. Her background also includes work with trauma, identity questions, self-esteem and confidence building, and issues linked to addiction and relationship strain.
Her approach mixes several methods to suit each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and focus on meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused ways of working help when relationship patterns or closeness are causing distress.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Victoria listens without judgement and helps people choose steps that match their everyday life. She encourages homework that feels manageable and relevant to the goals people bring to therapy.
Victoria works from the United Kingdom and offers services in English. She also has experience supporting clients with a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, chronic illness, body image and career stress. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a time that fits their schedule.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options
Victoria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to focus on values-based actions that matter in daily life. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and patterns of avoidance.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings of safety and closeness. That work can help with intimacy-related problems, codependency and repetitive relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and tailor the way of working to the person's goals, preferences and practical needs. Decisions about techniques and homework are made collaboratively during assessment and early sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. It can also help people keep continuity of care when living in different places or travelling, and supports working through emotional material using the same therapeutic approaches used in face-to-face work.
