Kitty Schwichiski , NCPS

Kitty Schwichiski helps people take practical steps to lessen the hold that painful thoughts and feelings have on everyday life. She works collaboratively to explore the underlying causes of anxiety and to identify personal triggers, providing insight that supports better management of distressing reactions.

Using a variety of tools and strategies, Kitty supports clients in working through difficult emotions, interrupting unhelpful thought patterns, and moving beyond self-limiting beliefs. She encourages exploration of a person's deeper wishes for who they want to be and what they want to stand for, helping them shift away from cycles of worry, anxiety, and rumination toward clearer action.

In sessions Kitty offers time and space to speak about what is troubling someone without judgment, then helps to unravel and process those concerns so the person can move forward as a team. She recognises that reaching out can be difficult and that the range of available support options can feel overwhelming, and she aims to help people feel valued and at ease during each appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, rumination, and when someone wants to build a more meaningful direction in life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and new skills. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and repetitive negative thinking.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy, acceptance, and space for personal discovery. This approach supports people who need time to explore emotions, clarify priorities, and regain a sense of self-worth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kitty works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best given their needs, goals, and preferences. She supports clients in trying different strategies and adapting the work as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from different locations, and continue care in a way that suits the individual’s schedule and communication style.
