About Kitty
Kitty Schwichiski is a counsellor who helps people reduce the impact of painful thoughts and feelings. She draws on seven years of experience and a range of practical tools to help clients move beyond worry and rumination. Kitty uses clear, down-to-earth language so people can act on what they learn in sessions.
She begins by looking at what drives anxiety and other difficult emotions. That often means noticing triggers and the patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Kitty offers strategies to disrupt unhelpful thinking and manage strong feelings in the moment. Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and collaborative. Kitty gives time and space to talk through what is bothering someone, then works alongside them to unpack it and plan next steps.
She also supports people who want to reconnect with their values and set meaningful goals. Her work covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and extends to parenting, relationship issues, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. Kitty also works with issues like body image, chronic illness and trauma-related concerns.
Kitty uses a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive tools and client-centred listening. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom.

Approaches you can use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive actions. It uses simple exercises to clarify values and take steps towards a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, rumination and life changes.Client-Centred Therapy prioritises being heard and understood. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what they hear, creating space to explore feelings and build self-trust; this approach suits people who want a supportive, non-directive setting.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, useful for panic, phobias, obsessive thinking and low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed to find the best fit.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use therapeutic tools and exercises face to face. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it around work, childcare or travel.
