Miss Victoria Schwulst

Registered Counselor

“As a Registered Counsellor in SA and the UK, I know reaching out isn’t easy. With warmth and understanding, I support teens and young adults through anxiety, relationships, life changes, and more. Together, we’ll build resilience, joy, and adaptability as you create a life that feels truly yours.”

About Me

I understand that navigating the complexities of adolescence and young adulthood can feel overwhelming. With warmth and understanding, I support teens and young adults facing anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life changes. We’ll work collaboratively, exploring practical ways to build resilience. Together, we can discover a path towards a joyful, adaptable future that truly reflects who you are.

Approach

When we meet, I create a steady, curious space where exploring worries, body image or big transitions happens at a pace you set, with practical tools to try between sessions. I offer face-to-face work in Cape Town and secure online appointments so therapy fits your life and any move or relocation. Sessions mix short-term, focused strategies for anxiety or burnout with gentle attention to loss, relationships and identity, and I’ll help you track small changes week to week. This way of working often suits young people seeking realistic, hopeful shifts.
