About Victoria
Victoria Swart is an NCPS-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression among the main concerns she works with. She also notes experience with addiction, relationship and family-related issues, parenting and life transitions.
Victoria describes herself as an integrative practitioner who draws on several well-known approaches. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. She focuses on helping people manage upsetting thoughts, navigate loss, and rebuild confidence after difficult events.
Her background includes private practice work and voluntary experience with a suicide prevention charity. That combination has informed a straightforward style that balances listening with practical steps. People often bring issues like sleep and eating difficulties, intimacy questions, or career stress for focused work.
Victoria uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches. She also uses client-centred ways of working to keep the conversation rooted in each person’s concerns. These approaches are used to help people notice patterns, try small changes and adjust what’s not working.
Sessions aim to make day-to-day life more manageable. Victoria asks about current struggles and goals, then suggests small, doable steps to practise between meetings. She encourages honest discussion about expectations and will work with each person to find what helps.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and problems that recur over time.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviours to test new outcomes. It is often used for depression, anxiety and sleep or eating concerns.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current responses. It can help with intimacy-related worries and difficulties managing relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is reviewed as sessions progress so the approach can be adjusted collaboratively.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to help people keep continuity while juggling family, work and other commitments.
