Felicity Kirlew, BACP

Felicity Kirlew is a counsellor who helps people facing midlife changes, stress and anxiety. She works with those coping with loss, relationship strain, career shifts and feelings of emptiness. Felicity uses a direct, respectful style and aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable.

She describes her work as collaborative. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with practical steps and chances to reflect. Felicity pays attention to motivation and confidence, and supports people through trauma, grief and addiction concerns when they come up.

Felicity holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings ten years of professional experience. That background includes helping people with attachment and family-related issues, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver stress. She also works with people affected by domestic violence, separation and bereavement.

Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working, motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. That mix helps people find what matters to them, build motivation for change and try small, practical experiments between sessions.

Felicity offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. The therapist follows the person's lead, offers empathy and helps them make sense of feelings and choices. This style suits people who need time to reflect and feel heard.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses gentle questions to build commitment and reduce ambivalence, which can help with addictions, career moves and lifestyle changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small practical steps and clear goals. It is useful when someone wants to try experiments between sessions and track progress over time.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist discusses goals, preferences and practical needs together with the client. They will adjust methods as sessions progress so work stays relevant and useful for each person.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also suit people who prefer to use video or phone when concentration or energy levels vary.
