About Kitty

Kitty Schwichiski is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress and a wide range of life challenges. Kitty focuses on helping clients understand what sets off distressing thoughts and feelings so they can take clearer action in daily life.

Her approach begins with small, practical steps. She talks through triggers and patterns with each person and offers tools to interrupt unhelpful thinking. Sessions aim to reduce rumination and make difficult emotions easier to manage, rather than promising quick fixes.

Kitty uses a mix of conversation and specific strategies drawn from therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred work. She also draws on mindfulness techniques, DBT skills and hypnotherapy where they fit a client's needs and preferences. The emphasis is on skills people can use between sessions.

People often seek her support for issues including panic, phobias, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties and problems with self-esteem. She also works with concerns like chronic illness, body image and career strain. Kitty accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Initial steps include a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Kitty aims to keep meetings straightforward and practical, focusing on what someone wants to change and the next small steps that move them forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting caught in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help when worry or rumination keeps someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for panic, phobias and anxiety symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest methods that suit those aims. That choice is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

Confirm which session formats Kitty offers before booking, since the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day and to keep momentum between meetings. They can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and avoid travel time. The focus remains on clear steps and practical skills people can use between sessions, and a counsellor will adapt techniques to work well over the chosen format.
