Kitty Schwichiski
Compassionate practical support for worry and change
About Kitty
Kitty Schwichiski is a counsellor with seven years' practical experience helping people reduce the hold of painful thoughts and feelings. She works from the United Kingdom and uses a range of therapeutic tools to help people feel less stuck by worry, anxiety and rumination. Kitty begins by looking for root causes and common triggers.
That helps turn vague worry into clear, actionable steps. She breaks down unhelpful thinking and offers practical strategies to manage strong emotions and upsetting memories.
Background and approach
Sessions give people space to talk without judgment. Kitty focuses on understanding what matters to each person and what gets in the way. Together they map out small changes that fit real life and personal values.
Her approach mixes evidence-informed methods with calmer, client-led conversation. Techniques aim to shift thoughts and behaviour, build coping skills, and strengthen self-compassion. Kitty also uses approaches that can help with trauma reactions and overwhelming feelings.
People commonly bring issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, anger, career worries and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with body image, chronic illness and pain, obsessive thoughts, panic, phobias, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and the effects of sexual assault and abuse. Kitty welcomes international clients and works in English.
She encourages a gentle start and practical steps so therapy feels manageable for people seeking change.

Sessions & fees
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small steps that match those values. It helps people move past avoidance and build a life that feels meaningful despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, depression and unhelpful behaviours. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person in the room, offering a non-judgemental space where the counsellor listens and reflects so people can find their own solutions.Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Kitty will discuss different approaches and decide together with each person which methods suit their goals and preferences. This collaborative planning makes it easier to try techniques that feel relevant and manageable.
Online therapy here can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone calls are a good option when less bandwidth is available or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text let people keep ongoing contact or work through thoughts between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines.
