About Kitty
Kitty Schwichiski is a counsellor with seven years' experience helping people reduce the hold of painful thoughts and feelings. She works to make anxiety and rumination more manageable so clients can take clearer, more purposeful action in their lives. Kitty offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them and begin to move forward.
She starts by looking at what triggers uncomfortable reactions and where unhelpful thought patterns come from.
Background and approach
From there she introduces practical tools to interrupt those thoughts and to cope with strong emotions. Techniques include grounding, thought-restructuring and breathing work tailored to the person's needs. Kitty uses a mix of approaches to suit each person.
She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people get clearer on values and goals. Cognitive behavioural methods are used to spot and reframe repetitive thinking. Client-centred work keeps the pace guided by the person's concerns and priorities.
People often come to Kitty for help with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief or the impact of trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing life changes, parenting strains, career worries and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include body image, chronic illness and isolation.
Sessions are offered in English and Kitty is based in the United Kingdom. She accepts international clients and works with people online using formats that suit their routine and preferences. Reaching out can feel hard, and she aims to help people feel heard and valued from the first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer on what matters most to them and take small steps towards those values despite difficult thoughts. It is useful for anxiety, rumination and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavioural changes; it helps with panic, phobias, obsessive thinking and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a trusting, non-judgemental relationship where the pace is set by the client and emotional exploration is held with empathy.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. Kitty works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person’s goals, symptoms and day-to-day reality. She checks in about what helps and adapts the plan as progress or new concerns emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow full face-to-face discussion and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit brief updates, guided exercises or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the core therapeutic work focused on practical change and understanding.
