Felicity Kirlew helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship strain and life changes. Her name appears first so you know who will be guiding the conversations.

Felicity uses simple, direct conversation to find what matters most to each person. She draws on client-centred therapy to follow the person's lead and make space for their priorities.

Background and approach

She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused techniques to build practical steps forward. Her approach is respectful and compassionate. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs, with a focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes.

She talks in everyday language and avoids jargon so conversations are easy to follow. Felicity has ten years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted to show her standing in the UK counselling community.

She can help people with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction-related issues, intimacy worries, caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment issues, and challenges linked to adoption or blended family life. She also supports those facing loneliness, emptiness, or difficult separations. Sessions are offered online in several formats to fit different needs.

People who want to begin can complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

Practical therapy approaches for online sessions

Felicity uses client-centred therapy to follow what matters most to each person, making space for their concerns and priorities and allowing the client to lead the pace and focus of sessions. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build internal motivation, which can be useful for addictions, confidence and making life shifts. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and visible progress rather than lengthy problem analysis, so sessions often end with clear actions to try before the next meeting.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the client's goals and preferences and collaborate on which methods to use. That shared planning aims to match the approach to the issue, whether the need is emotional support, behavioural change or short-term problem solving.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people engage. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be useful when video is difficult or bandwidth is low; live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
