Kitty Schwichiski, NCPS

Kitty Schwichiski is a counsellor with seven years' experience supporting people facing worry, anxiety and life changes. She works with clients to reduce the hold of painful thoughts and difficult feelings. Kitty aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and non-judgemental.

She uses clear tools and practical strategies to interrupt unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions include time to talk through what is troubling you and space to notice what triggers anxiety. Kitty helps people learn ways to manage symptoms so they can take action in their daily lives.

Kitty also invites clients to look at deeper aims and values. She encourages people to identify the kind of life they want and small steps that move them towards that. Work often covers self-esteem, relationships, parenting strains, grief, trauma and career stress.

The approaches Kitty uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy, alongside Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and hypnotherapy when appropriate. She blends these methods to fit each person's needs rather than following one fixed plan.

Throughout therapy Kitty aims to be warm and non-judgemental. She offers a calm, steady space where people can unravel what is happening, make sense of it, and plan practical ways to move forward. Reaching out can be hard and Kitty tries to make that step easier.

How Kitty applies therapy online and by approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps towards a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy offers a supportive space where the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's lead to make sense of concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kitty will discuss what matters to you and try different methods if needed. She aims to make decisions together so the plan fits your aims, needs and how you prefer to work.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try different ways of working, including shorter practical sessions or longer reflective conversations, so therapy can match everyday life.
