Felicity Kirlew
Compassionate, practical support for life changes and stress
About Felicity
Felicity Kirlew helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, anxiety, or doubts about their next steps. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, grief, addictions, or intimacy concerns. Felicity also supports people dealing with trauma, self-esteem difficulties, career questions and major life changes.
She speaks English and Spanish and practises from the United Kingdom. Felicity uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
She aims to listen carefully, reflect what she hears, and then help people try small, manageable changes that suit their life. Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions and emphasises understanding and acceptance.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical steps and goals that can make a real difference quickly. Felicity holds BACP registration, which is a recognised UK counselling association.
She brings around ten years of professional experience to her work, including helping people with family-related stress, abandonment and attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, and issues such as dissociation or codependency. Sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which offers flexibility for different schedules.
Felicity tailors the pace and format to each person's needs and helps them set clear, achievable goals as therapy progresses.

How Felicity’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own experience at the centre of work. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what they hear, and helps the person feel understood so they can explore difficult feelings and choices. Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons for change and resolving uncertainty; it is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps and existing strengths that can lead to quick, tangible progress. Fitting the right approach is a team effort. Felicity will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions can shift over time - more listening and exploration at first, then clearer goal-setting and practical tasks as the work moves forward. Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These formats offer flexibility so people can access therapy in ways that suit their routine and needs.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
