Felicity Kirlew , BACP

Felicity Kirlew is a counsellor who focuses on helping people find clearer ways forward. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and relationship concerns. Felicity also supports people coping with trauma, addiction-related issues, and career or life changes.

She uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters to each person. Sessions are shaped around the individual's goals, and Felicity adapts the pace and tasks to suit those needs. Clients can expect a respectful, calm space to talk and to try out practical steps between meetings.

Felicity has around ten years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background includes working with people affected by family difficulties, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving stress, and separation or divorce.

Her work also covers intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue, attachment issues, and neurodiversity topics such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She can help people who feel stuck, empty, dissociated, or who are addressing commitment and codependency patterns.

Sessions are available in English and Spanish and can be arranged to suit different schedules. Felicity aims to help people make small, manageable changes that add up to a better daily life. If someone wants clear, practical support delivered with empathy, she offers that steady, person-focused approach.

Approach-driven online counselling and practical tools

Felicity draws on client-centred counselling to place the person's experience at the heart of the work. This means the conversation follows what matters most to the client and the counsellor helps reflect and clarify those concerns so goals can emerge.

She also uses motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck or ambivalent. That approach helps people explore their reasons for change and strengthen their own motivation without pressure. Solution-focused work is used to identify small, achievable steps and to build on what already works in someones life.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Felicity will talk through options, invite feedback and adapt methods to match the client's priorities, goals and personal style. The emphasis is on collaboration rather than a fixed formula.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into short breaks or low-bandwidth settings, and chat or messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, family or other commitments while still accessing regular counselling.
