Kitty Schwichiski , NCPS

Kitty Schwichiski is a counsellor who aims to help people reduce the hold of painful thoughts and feelings. She uses practical tools so people can take action and move toward a life they value. Kitty works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain.

She spends time uncovering what triggers unhelpful thinking. That helps people learn to manage reactions instead of being controlled by them. Sessions focus on clear strategies to break rumination and reduce worry.

Kitty offers a variety of approaches suited to different needs. She draws on cognitive and acceptance-based methods alongside client-centred listening and mindfulness techniques. Hypnotherapy and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy are also available when appropriate.

People often come with life transitions, grief, parenting strain or issues with self-esteem and body image. Kitty also supports those facing chronic illness, trauma, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and pregnancy or postnatal challenges.

Her practice reflects seven years of clinical experience and she is registered with NCPS. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a time that suits them. Kitty aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people feel listened to and can work towards practical change.

How Kitty blends therapy approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build different habits, often used for panic, phobias and low mood.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on empathic listening and the therapist offering a non-judgemental space. This approach supports people who need time to talk through feelings and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kitty will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy brings practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls let sessions feel close to face to face, phone work is useful for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can fit into a break at work or days when talking is hard. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent and tailored to individual routines.
