Kitty Schwichiski, NCPS

Kitty Schwichiski is a counsellor with seven years' experience helping people manage painful thoughts and difficult emotions. She works with clients who feel stuck in worry, rumination, or overwhelming stress and supports them to take practical steps towards a more fulfilling life. Kitty uses straightforward tools and clear conversation to help people understand what sets off their anxiety and how to respond differently.

In sessions she gives time to talk about whatever is troubling someone, without judgement, and treats the work as a collaborative effort. Conversations focus on uncovering root causes and spotting patterns that keep problems going. From there she offers techniques to disrupt unhelpful thinking and to build more helpful habits.

Her toolkit includes approaches that help with thoughts, feelings and behaviours. She draws on practical exercises to reduce rumination, ground people in the present, and support behaviour change. Kitty also uses conversational strategies that encourage self-reflection and help people reconnect with what matters to them.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including midlife crisis, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, trauma and career-related stress. She also helps with low self-esteem, body image, chronic illness and anger management.

Kitty aims to make the first step easier. She guides people through a short matching process, then works with them to set goals and find manageable ways to move forward. Sessions are held in English and she accepts international clients.

Therapy approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps that match those values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and midlife reflection. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for panic, phobias and rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted if something does not feel helpful.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current options before booking. That said, online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into daily life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, and make it simpler to continue work while away from home. Online sessions also let people experiment with tools and strategies in their usual surroundings, which can help transfer new skills into everyday routines.
