About Felicity
Felicity Kirlew offers calm, practical support to people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She writes and listens in a respectful, compassionate way and focuses on what matters to each person. Felicity welcomes conversations in English and Spanish and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
Felicity uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations. She helps clients talk through trauma and abuse, family conflict, relationship concerns, addiction and low self‑esteem.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around the person's needs so they can build confidence and practical coping skills. Her approach is collaborative. Felicity tailors the pace and content of sessions to the individual, helping them set clear, achievable steps and checking progress as they go.
She also offers coaching-style support for people facing career decisions or transitions. Felicity holds BACP registration, and draws on ten years of professional experience. That background includes supporting people through bereavement, intimacy struggles, bipolar mood challenges and compassion fatigue.
She aims to make therapy approachable and solution-focused. Sessions can include short-term work to meet a specific goal or longer-term exploration of patterns and attachment issues. People who have experienced adoption, abandonment, domestic violence or caregiving stress can bring those concerns into sessions for focused work.
Conversations are practical and paced to suit the individual. Felicity encourages clients to bring questions and to try small changes between sessions so progress remains visible and manageable.

How her approaches work online
Client‑centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens carefully, reflects feelings and helps the person find their own solutions; this approach suits people who need acceptance and steady support while they explore difficult subjects.Motivational interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons for change. It uses respectful questions and reflection to build motivation and is often useful for issues like addictions, low motivation or life transitions.
Solution‑focused therapy concentrates on small steps and practical outcomes. Sessions look for what is already working and build on those strengths to create quick, achievable goals.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Felicity will discuss options and adapt methods to fit the person's goals, needs and preferences so the work feels collaborative rather than prescribed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check‑ins and text‑based messaging can fit around a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to match the format to the kind of work each person wants to do.
