Dina Dehauteur Swift

Dina Dehauteur Swift is an AHPRA-registered clinician with 30 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and depression. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take practical steps forward.

Dina has a long background in perinatal work and with adults who have mental health concerns. She uses attachment-informed ideas when relationship or bonding issues come up. That helps uncover patterns that feed into arguments, distance or repeated disappointments.

In sessions she focuses on building resilience and understanding the reasons behind strong emotions. Conversations are direct but compassionate, and practical coping strategies are explored together. She aims to make the therapy room a place where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without fear of judgement.

Dina also supports people with body image concerns, caregiver stress, grief and loss, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation. Money worries, life purpose questions and mood disorders are additional areas she addresses.

People can expect therapy that balances emotional understanding with clear day-to-day tools. The first session is used to map priorities and agree on goals. From there, Dina works collaboratively to help people build steadier routines and greater confidence.

She offers sessions in English and French and practises in Australia. If you want to begin, follow the service's start process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dina uses attachment-informed approaches to look at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional reactions. This helps when people are dealing with repeated relationship patterns, abandonment worries or difficulty trusting others.

She also draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on mood and anxiety management. These methods teach practical skills for reducing worry, improving sleep and lifting low mood through small, daily changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dina works with each person to identify goals and preferences, and then adjusts methods to suit their needs as therapy progresses. This discussion often happens in the first few sessions so the plan fits the person's life and aims.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also adapt exercises and homework for remote work so people continue progress between sessions.
