Kitty Schwichiski, NCPS

Kitty Schwichiski helps people take practical steps toward living a more fulfilling life by reducing the hold of painful thoughts and emotions. She works collaboratively to explore the roots of anxiety and identify personal triggers, using that understanding to develop clearer, more effective ways to manage distress.

Kitty brings a toolkit of strategies designed to interrupt unhelpful thinking patterns, regulate difficult feelings, and challenge beliefs that keep people stuck. She supports clients in clarifying their deepest values and aspirations so they can move toward who they want to be rather than remaining caught in worry, rumination, or self-doubt.

In sessions Kitty offers time and space to talk about what is troubling a person without judgment, and she guides the process of untangling and processing those concerns as a collaborative team. She holds NCPS, a professional registration, and uses evidence-informed techniques to tailor support to each individual.

Recognising that reaching out can feel daunting, Kitty aims to make the first steps easier and to help clients feel valued and at ease during their work together. Her approach is steady, compassionate, and focused on helping people move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It encourages identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward those values, which can help with anxiety, rumination, and feeling stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and other common challenges by teaching skills to shift thinking and respond differently to stressful situations.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and focus of work. This approach is useful when someone needs time and space to explore feelings, build self-understanding, and grow confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kitty works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she can adapt techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and connect with registered professionals from different locations.
