Welcome to the practice of John Swart, Registered Clinical Psychologist.

I provide therapy for individuals navigating grief, trauma and complex emotional experiences. My approach integrates EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) with evidence-based psychological therapies to support meaningful and lasting change.

Whether you are feeling stuck in the past, overwhelmed by loss, or seeking greater emotional clarity, therapy offers a space to process, understand, and move forward at your own pace.

​

What I focus on:

​

  • Trauma and post-traumatic stress

  • Grief and loss (bereavement, relationship loss, life transitions)

  • Anxiety and emotional overwhelm

  • Complex or unresolved past experiences

  • Adjustment to life changes

​

My Approach

​​

Therapy is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your individual needs. I work in a trauma-informed way, prioritising safety, pacing, and emotional stability.Using EMDR alongside integrative therapeutic approaches, the focus is on helping you:

​

  • Reduce emotional distress

  • Process difficult memories

  • Develop resilience and coping capacity

  • Reconnect with a sense of meaning and direction

​

If you’re considering therapy, you’re welcome to get in touch to discuss whether this approach is right for you.
