Felicity Kirlew , BACP

Felicity Kirlew brings 10 years of professional experience to her practice in the United Kingdom and holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and a range of relationship and life changes. Felicity combines warmth and practical focus to help people identify what matters most to them and move toward clearer, more manageable goals.

Known for treating each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Her background includes work with grief, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, career transitions, and support for those affected by adoption, caregiver strain, attachment difficulties, and other complex life situations. She is fluent in English and Spanish, which allows her to support a broader range of clients.

Felicity emphasizes collaborative work - helping clients find their strengths, build motivation, and develop practical strategies for coping and change. She encourages those taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling life, offering steady support and guidance as clients work toward their goals.

Approaches that guide online therapy and practical support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens and reflects to help the individual explore feelings and values. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and making personal decisions by prioritizing the client's perspective and pace.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. It is particularly useful for addressing issues like addiction, lifestyle shifts, and readiness for new ways of coping.

Felicity treats finding the best approach as a collaborative process. She works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods over time so therapy aligns with what is most helpful for each person. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to suit individual situations rather than relying on a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions. For many people, remote sessions can provide consistent, practical access to therapy while still allowing for a meaningful therapeutic relationship.
