About Kitty
Kitty Schwichiski is a counsellor with seven years of experience helping people reduce the hold of painful thoughts and feelings. She works with clients to identify triggers and build practical steps for managing anxiety, low mood and stress. Kitty uses a calm, non-judgemental style and gives people time and space to speak about what is worrying them.
She begins by listening closely to what the person is experiencing and where it shows up in the body and daily life.
Background and approach
That groundwork helps to spot patterns and the root causes of repeated worry or rumination. From there, Kitty introduces techniques drawn from somatic work, acceptance and commitment strategies, and cognitive tools to interrupt unhelpful thinking. Sessions tend to focus on simple, usable skills.
Kitty offers exercises to manage panic, ease physical tension, and challenge self-limiting beliefs. She also helps people navigate grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, career crossroads and life changes in practical ways. People can expect a collaborative pace.
Kitty supports them to set clear goals, try new coping strategies, and notice small changes that matter. She is mindful of how stress affects the body and uses that awareness to shape each session. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate.
Kitty aims to make the process feel less confusing and more manageable, so people can move from feeling stuck to taking steps towards what matters to them.
How Kitty blends somatic work with online therapy
Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between the body and emotions. It involves noticing physical sensations, grounding techniques and gentle movement to help release tension and reduce anxiety. This can be useful for people who feel distress in their body as well as their mind.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people live in ways that match their values while responding differently to painful thoughts. It uses acceptance, mindful awareness and committed action to move towards meaningful goals. Client-Centred Therapy offers a warm, non-judgemental space where the person’s own goals and pace shape the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kitty will work collaboratively to identify what helps most based on the person’s needs and preferences. She will suggest options, check what feels useful, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy lets people access these approaches from home using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family and daily life. It also allows for continued support when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier.
