About Felicity
Felicity Kirlew helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. She meets each person with respect and calm. Her style is straightforward and compassionate so people can talk about what matters most.
She uses short, focused conversations to help people find practical next steps. Sessions often look at stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma and problems with motivation or self-esteem. She also supports people coping with grief, major life changes, relationship and intimacy worries, addiction concerns and workplace strain.
How Felicity works
Felicity works in a way that follows the client rather than a fixed script. She listens closely and adapts questions and goals to what the person says they need. That might mean gentle exploration, helping someone find reasons to change, or building simple, achievable plans.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings ten years of professional experience. Her background includes helping people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, and caring responsibilities. Sessions can be in English or Spanish and are offered to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
People usually start by describing their immediate concern, then agree small goals to work on between sessions. Felicity aims to make therapy practical and relevant to daily life.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of each session and focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting what the client wants to say. This approach helps when someone needs support to make sense of feelings like anxiety, grief or low self-esteem.Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build commitment at a comfortable pace. It is useful for worries about motivation, addictions or making life changes, because it turns big goals into manageable next steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether a listening-led approach, motivational techniques or solution-focused planning best matches their goals and preferences. This choice can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, live chat can suit people who prefer typing, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
