About Felicity

Felicity Kirlew is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She works with clients facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation issues and challenges around grief and relationships. Felicity draws on a decade of professional experience and presents a calm, respectful approach to each person she meets.

Felicity uses straightforward conversations to tailor a plan that suits each client. She focuses on what matters to the individual and helps set practical steps for change. Sessions aim to build confidence, improve coping and support decision-making when people feel stuck.

Her work includes attention to issues such as addiction, intimacy-related concerns, career difficulties and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include attachment challenges, adoption and foster care, codependency, and the effects of separation or divorce. Felicity also addresses neurodiversity topics like autism and Asperger syndrome when relevant to a client's situation.

She practices with respect and sensitivity, adapting her style to the person's needs. Felicity will listen, reflect and offer techniques drawn from solution-oriented and motivational approaches. The emphasis is on collaboration and on helping people take realistic next steps toward a more manageable life.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Felicity works under the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has ten years of experience in the field.

Approaches that guide online conversations

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting what matters most to them and helping them find their own solutions. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and boosts their motivation to take steps forward, which is useful for issues like addiction, low motivation or commitment struggles. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical changes and short-term goals; it is helpful when someone wants to see concrete progress and build momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Felicity will discuss options and try approaches that fit a client's needs, goals and preferences. She aims to collaborate so the method matches what the person wants to achieve rather than imposing a single style.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose a setting that helps them focus, whether that means avoiding commutes or fitting a session into a work break. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to reach clients who live elsewhere or who need more flexible scheduling.
