Felicity Woolsey , NCPS

Felicity Woolsey uses a humanistic, client-centred approach as the backbone of her work. She focuses on understanding what lies behind a person's difficulties, then introduces practical coping skills when needed. Felicity is an NCPS professional with five years of experience working with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties.

She offers short-term strategies such as cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and behaviours. Mindfulness and emotional regulation skills are used to manage stress, intrusive thoughts and intense emotions. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people make small, useful changes that fit their daily life.

Felicity has worked in substance misuse rehabilitation and in mental health ward settings. That experience included facilitating group work and applying strategies drawn from dialectical behavioural frameworks. She has supported people with eating problems, addiction to drugs and alcohol, gambling and sex or porn-related difficulties.

Her practice also covers relationship challenges, family concerns, issues around identity and sexuality, grief and coping with life changes. Felicity helps people examine attachment patterns, communication problems and intimacy-related worries so they can make clearer choices about what they want.

Sessions are offered in English and Felicity accepts international clients. She runs a private practice in the United Kingdom and uses a straightforward, empathetic style to help people feel listened to and understood.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Felicity uses a client-centred framework that prioritises the person's own goals and pace. This approach means sessions start by listening and building understanding, then shape the work around what matters most to the client. It helps with issues like self-esteem, relationship choices and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and some addiction behaviours because it gives clear, practical exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and to calm strong emotions, which can help with sleep, stress and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and may combine client-centred listening with CBT tasks or mindfulness practice as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for more in-depth conversation and seeing non-verbal cues, phone can be better when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and different time zones.
