About Victoria
Victoria Swart NCPS offers a practical, person-focused approach to counselling. She uses plain language and short, direct sessions to help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief or low mood. Victoria aims to make the first steps straightforward and manageable for someone nervous about starting therapy.
She brings seven years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, and major life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with bereavement, caregiving stress, chronic illness and identity questions. Victoria blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and practical actions.
Attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening shape how she builds trust and understanding in sessions. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps. People can expect a combination of talking, simple exercises and reflection.
Victoria describes herself as down-to-earth and non-judgemental, aiming to give people tools they can use between sessions. She sees clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
If someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Victoria draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and many day-to-day difficulties.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be helpful for stress, avoidance and long-term coping. Attachment-based ideas guide how she listens and responds, helping people understand patterns in close relationships and improve communication.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Victoria will talk about what is likely to help and tailor techniques to a person's goals and preferences. Over the first few sessions she will check in and adapt the plan so it feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text messaging suits people who want more frequent, brief exchanges or who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
