Kitty Schwichiski, NCPS

Kitty Schwichiski is a counsellor with seven years' experience who helps people reduce the hold of painful thoughts and feelings. She focuses on making small, effective changes so day-to-day life becomes more manageable. Kitty works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief, as well as those facing relationship strains, parenting pressures and compassion fatigue.

Her approach begins by looking at what triggers distress. Kitty gently helps people understand patterns of thought and behaviour. From there she offers practical tools to disrupt unhelpful thinking and to manage strong emotions more easily.

Sessions give time and space to talk through what matters without judgement. Kitty aims to untangle worries, process difficult experiences and identify what a person wants from life. She encourages people to try actions that reflect their values rather than staying stuck in rumination.

She uses a range of therapy methods tailored to each person. Kitty draws on acceptance-based work, cognitive techniques and mindful practices to build coping skills. Hypnotherapy and skills from dialectical approaches may also be offered when they seem helpful.

Kitty is based in the United Kingdom and speaks English. She accepts international clients. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session, which helps people find a clear next step.

How her approaches translate to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without being led by them and encourages actions that match what matters to them; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for problems like panic, phobias and depression. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood, giving space to talk through emotions and decide on next steps at a person’s own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist explains different methods and they decide together which ones feel most useful. This collaborative process means techniques are adapted to the person’s goals and what they prefer to try.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find video or phone sessions help them stay consistent while working around family, work or health commitments.
