Kitty Schwichiski

Kitty Schwichiski is a counsellor who helps people reduce the hold of painful thoughts and feelings. She uses a practical approach to explore what drives anxiety and other distressing emotions. Kitty aims to help people take steps toward the life they want rather than stay stuck in worry and rumination.

Over seven years she has built a toolkit of strategies to manage difficult feelings. These include ways to interrupt unhelpful thinking and to loosen self-limiting beliefs. Kitty works alongside clients to identify triggers and discover realistic ways to cope day to day.

Sessions are calm and non-judgemental. Kitty gives people space to talk about what is bothering them and helps them untangle those concerns. She encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time.

She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques and hypnotherapy where appropriate to the person’s needs.

Kitty supports a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also works with grief, trauma and issues around body image and chronic illness. Her practical style is aimed at helping people find clearer direction and steadier coping in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without letting them dictate actions, so they can move toward chosen values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can be helpful for panic, phobias and obsessive thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This will be a collaborative process, with adjustments made as you learn what helps most.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from different locations, and they allow short check-ins when a full in-person session is harder to arrange. The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm available formats before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to deliver ACT, CBT and other methods effectively, while helping clients build clearer routines and coping skills that fit everyday life.
