Felicity Kirlew, BACP

Felicity Kirlew welcomes people who are feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed by life changes, or weighed down by grief and relationship strain. She aims to create a calm space where each person can talk through what matters most and begin to find practical steps forward.

She uses straightforward conversation to tailor work to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change, and on small, achievable steps to get there. Felicity draws on client-centred methods to keep the person's perspective central, and on solution-focused techniques to set clear goals.

Felicity has a BACP credential and around ten years of experience working with issues such as depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, bipolar difficulties and caregiving stress. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, abandonment, attachment issues and challenges linked to ageing and geriatric issues.

She speaks English and Spanish and practises from within the United Kingdom. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to adapt the pace and topics to each person’s readiness and life demands.

In sessions people can expect a mix of listening, practical problem-solving and motivational conversation to help maintain change. The work is collaborative: Felicity helps people identify the next steps and checks in about what is working and what needs to change.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions and pace for change.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on resolving mixed feelings about change. It uses supportive questions and reflections to build the client’s own reasons for moving forward, which can help with addictions, motivation and sticking to new habits.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. Sessions often look at what is already working, and then plan simple experiments to extend those positive shifts into everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Felicity will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as the work progresses so the plan stays relevant and useful.

For practical arrangements, the original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins during busy days. It also makes it possible to continue therapy if someone is living abroad, since she accepts international clients.
