Dina Dehauteur Swift

Dina Dehauteur Swift offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges and low self-esteem. She works with adults who are facing mood or life transitions and with those struggling with narcissism-related concerns. Dina speaks English and French and practices in Australia under AHPRA. Her approach is practical and straightforward. She helps people name what feels wrong, notice patterns, and build clearer ways to cope. Sessions focus on understanding attachment dynamics, improving communication, and developing resilience for day-to-day life. Dina brings three decades of professional experience to her work. Much of her practice has centred on perinatal care and adult mental health. She draws on that background when clients are managing grief, caregiver stress, body image worries or problems at work such as bullying and harassment. In the room she aims for an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She collaborates with clients to set realistic goals and practical steps. The emphasis is on small changes that add up to better emotional balance. People often come for help with attachment wounds, control issues, guilt and shame, or the fallout from a separation. Dina supports clients to explore those underlying reasons and to build personal resilience. She encourages honest conversation and steady progress toward a more manageable daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Evidence-based approaches in Dina's practice focus on attachment-informed work and practical coping strategies. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people change unhelpful interaction styles. Practical coping strategies teach skills for managing anxiety, low mood and stress, using short exercises and clear steps to ease daily functioning.

Dina aims to find an approach that fits each person's needs. She discusses options with clients and adapts methods to their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps make online sessions feel purposeful and on track.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow quicker follow-ups or shorter check-ins when needed. It also helps people maintain momentum between appointments by making sessions more workable around work, parenting and other commitments.
