About Dina
Dina Dehauteur Swift is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and has 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and issues with self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and French for people in Australia.
Dina commonly supports people who are struggling with attachment wounds, feelings of abandonment, or trouble connecting in relationships. She also helps those dealing with body image, caregiver stress, or the emotional fallout from divorce and separation. Practical topics such as money worries, workplace bullying, and isolation are also part of her work.
Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Dina uses attachment-informed conversations to look at how past relationships shape present behaviour. She focuses on helping people identify patterns, recognise triggers, and try clearer ways of relating.
In sessions she offers steady, straightforward guidance and clear options for moving forward. Conversations tend to look at what’s causing distress, small steps to reduce it, and ways of building emotional resilience. She also addresses guilt, shame, impulsivity, and difficulties with forgiveness when these come up.
Dina asks new clients to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions
Dina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and attachment-informed work to help people understand emotional patterns and improve relationships. Attachment-focused conversations look at how early bonds affect current behaviour and can help with relationship distress, abandonment feelings and communication problems. Practical, evidence-informed methods concentrate on identifying triggers, testing new responses and building small coping skills to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dina will discuss options with each person and decide together which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps set realistic next steps and small, manageable goals for change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during a workday. It also lets people join sessions in quieter surroundings or avoid needing to be on camera if that feels better.
