Dina Dehauteur Swift

Dina Dehauteur Swift is an AHPRA-registered practitioner with 30 years of professional experience in Australia. She focuses on perinatal concerns and adults with mental health issues, and she commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures and low self-esteem.

Dina listens for the patterns behind current problems. She will talk through relationship and attachment concerns when they appear. Sessions often look at how caregiving roles, work stress, money worries and life transitions feed into mood and confidence.

Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build resilience and understanding. Dina works with clients to identify practical steps and new ways of coping rather than offering quick fixes. Conversations are direct and paced to each person’s needs.

She also addresses more specific issues such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, control issues, separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity and loneliness. Life purpose and financial stress are discussed when they link to emotional health.

Dina offers sessions in English and French. The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the online therapy options button.

With three decades of work in this field, Dina combines practical problem solving with attention to how past patterns affect present choices. She aims to help people move from being stuck to having clearer options and steadier coping in day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Dina uses evidence-based techniques to help people untangle current problems and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach focuses on attachment-based ideas, looking at how early relationship experiences shape present reactions and communication. This helps when trust, abandonment fears or repeated conflict are part of the problem.

Another area of work involves skills-based strategies for mood and anxiety. These techniques teach practical ways to manage worry, low mood and impulsivity and to rebuild everyday routines that support steadier moods. Both approaches aim to link understanding with actions clients can try between sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Dina will discuss options with clients and choose methods based on their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins about what is or isn’t helping.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let conversations continue when life changes make in-person meetings difficult, while still focusing on practical coping and problem solving.
