About Kitty
Kitty Schwichiski is a counsellor who focuses on helping people reduce the hold of painful thoughts and feelings. She draws on seven years of experience and works to help clients understand what triggers anxiety and worry. Kitty aims to give people practical ways to move forward rather than stay stuck in rumination.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what is troubling them. Sessions are collaborative - Kitty listens, asks questions, and helps people untangle difficult emotions. The goal is to make room for change and clearer choices in day-to-day life.
Kitty uses a range of tools and strategies to interrupt unhelpful thinking and manage strong emotions. She draws on approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and hypnotherapy when appropriate. These methods are used to help people cope with anxiety, depression, trauma and stress among other concerns.
People come to Kitty for many issues including relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, anger, career pressures and compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing body image struggles, chronic illness or pain, panic and obsessive thoughts, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.
Her style is practical and steady. Kitty aims to help clients identify clear next steps, test small changes, and build self‑compassion along the way. Reaching out can feel hard, and she aims to make that first step easier for people.
How Kitty’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening stance where the client’s own goals guide the work. It helps people feel heard and supports self-directed change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts without letting them control behaviour and choosing actions that match values; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with panic, phobias and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and daily life. That might mean trying a few techniques and adapting what works best as sessions progress.
