About Kitty

Kitty Schwichiski is a counsellor who helps people reduce the hold of painful thoughts and feelings. She works with clients to identify triggers for anxiety and to take practical steps that make daily life easier. Kitty presents a calm and non-judgemental presence so people can talk about what is worrying them. She uses a straightforward, supportive style and aims to make reaching out less daunting.

Over seven years she has built a toolkit of strategies for handling difficult emotions. These include ways to interrupt unhelpful thinking and to challenge self-limiting beliefs. Sessions focus on understanding the root of distress and on practical actions to manage it, rather than long lists of theory.

People come for help with stress, anxiety, depression and grief, along with relationship strain and parenting concerns. Kitty also notes special focus areas such as chronic pain and illness, body image, and divorce and separation when these issues are part of a person's story.

Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive and mindfulness-based techniques. She also draws on client-centred ways of working and hypnotherapy when appropriate. The aim is to discover what matters most to the person and to work together towards those goals.

Kitty offers sessions from the United Kingdom and works in English. She welcomes international clients and asks people to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Helping you choose approaches that fit

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them block actions that matter. It helps with anxiety, rumination and feeling stuck by clarifying personal values and small steps towards them.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening so a person can make sense of their experience. This approach is useful when someone needs time and space to process grief, relationship strain or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kitty will discuss different options and tailor methods to the person's goals and preferences in a collaborative way. Decisions about techniques are made together and can change as needs shift.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. They also let people meet with a therapist from another region or country when that suits their situation.
