Kitty SchwichiskiNCPS

Kitty Schwichiski is a counsellor who helps people reduce the hold of painful thoughts and feelings. She focuses on uncovering the triggers behind anxiety so clients can respond more clearly. Kitty uses practical strategies aimed at everyday life rather than jargon. She invites people to bring whatever is worrying them and works alongside them without judgement.

Over seven years she has built a toolkit for disrupting unhelpful thinking and managing intense emotions. Kitty offers approaches that include acceptance-based work, cognitive strategies, mindfulness and, where helpful, hypnotherapy. Sessions often focus on learning new coping skills and trying small experiments between meetings.

People come to her for many reasons, including stress, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures and issues around pregnancy and childbirth. She also supports those dealing with trauma, chronic illness, body image, compulsions, panic attacks and midlife change. Her aim is to help people move from feeling stuck to making steady change.

Kitty describes therapy as a team effort. She gives focused time and space to talk, then helps break problems down into manageable steps. The work balances emotional processing with practical action so that insights lead to real differences in day-to-day life.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Kitty asks people to choose the Start Therapy option and complete a short questionnaire to begin arranging sessions.

Approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them, then choose actions that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Client-Centred Therapy offers a warm, non-judgemental space where the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s pace to work through whatever is most pressing.

Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try approaches that match the person’s situation. This is a collaborative process with adjustments over time based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so check current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care when they are travelling or living abroad. Ask about session length and scheduling when you sign up so arrangements suit your routine and commitments.
