About Kitty

Kitty Schwichiski is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem issues, grief, compassion fatigue and life changes, including concerns about career and life purpose.

She focuses on understanding what triggers painful thoughts and feelings. Kitty uses practical tools to reduce their impact so people can take effective action. Sessions involve talking through the roots of worrying patterns and looking for ways to manage triggers more clearly.

Her approach combines several methods to break unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Kitty offers strategies for handling difficult emotions, interrupting rumination, and challenging self-limiting beliefs. She also works with people affected by trauma, abuse, chronic illness, and body image concerns.

Many conversations look at practical steps for change. Kitty helps people explore what matters to them, including values and daily priorities. She aims to support clearer choices about work, relationships and roles that feel draining or unclear.

Sessions are conversational and grounded. Kitty provides time to talk about what is worrying someone without judgement, and then helps untangle and process those concerns. The focus is on steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward what matters, useful for life purpose concerns and anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It gives practical techniques to interrupt rumination and manage panic, phobias or depressive patterns.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and understanding. The therapist offers a non-judgemental space to talk and helps the person make sense of their own goals and decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kitty will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may combine elements from several approaches.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and making regular check-ins easier to keep. If you need shorter check-ins, or sessions that avoid video, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Always check the current session options when you arrange a meeting to ensure they match your needs and routine.
