About Dina
Dina Dehauteur Swift is registered with AHPRA and has 30 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting pressures and issues around self‑esteem. She also notes work with perinatal concerns and adult mental health issues.
Dina focuses on practical conversation and understanding what drives a person’s feelings. She talks through relationship concerns using ideas from attachment‑based work. Sessions look at patterns that repeat and what keeps them going.
She helps people who are dealing with grief, bullying and harassment at work, low motivation and confidence, and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce. She also addresses abandonment, body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation. Financial stress and questions about life purpose are included in her practice.
Dina aims to build resilience by helping clients identify underlying reasons for emotional struggle. She describes the work as collaborative - noticing patterns, testing small changes and reflecting on what feels different. The approach is down to earth and practical rather than theoretical.
Sessions can involve talking about communication habits, boundaries and coping strategies for day‑to‑day life. She offers work in English and French, and notes that international clients are not currently accepted. For people wondering how to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Practical approaches for online work
Evidence‑based approaches are used in accessible ways. Attachment‑informed work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current communication and connection. It helps with relationship worries, parenting strain and feelings of abandonment by naming patterns and trying different interaction styles.Behavioural techniques focus on small, repeatable steps to change mood and routine. These methods help with anxiety, low motivation and depression by breaking tasks into manageable actions and tracking what works.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining attachment ideas with behavioural tasks and checking in on progress over time.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check‑ins, or enabling work around childcare and work hours. Appropriately registered therapists can adapt exercises for remote sessions and help people practise new skills between meetings.
