About Kitty
Kitty Schwichiski is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and other concerns such as guilt and shame. Kitty focuses on helping people who feel stuck by painful thoughts and overwhelming feelings.
She helps clients identify the roots of anxiety and the triggers that keep difficult feelings active. Kitty uses straightforward tools and strategies to disrupt unhelpful thinking and reduce rumination. Sessions are a place to talk through what is bothering someone and to make small, sustainable changes.
Kitty draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, client-centred therapy and hypnotherapy. She explains techniques plainly and practises them with the client rather than just describing them. The aim is practical skills people can use between sessions.
People who are carrying guilt or shame may work on the thoughts and behaviours that keep those feelings alive. Kitty supports pacing that work and reflection, not quick fixes. The focus is on clearer thinking, manageable steps and improved coping for daily life.
She also addresses related issues such as body image, chronic illness and pain, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. Kitty works with grief, panic, phobias and the effects of sexual assault and abuse in a direct, conversational way that keeps to the client's pace.
How Kitty uses therapy approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing painful thoughts without getting swept up in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values; it is often useful for anxiety, rumination and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical tasks, which helps with panic, phobias and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions and supports talking through difficult feelings at the client's pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kitty will discuss these methods with the client and decide together which fit the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as therapy progresses and new needs appear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so people can practise skills between meetings and apply them in everyday life.
