About Felicity
Felicity Kirlew is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage depression, stress and anxiety. She works with individuals who want clearer thinking, steadier mood, or more confidence. Her approach is practical and respectful, with time set aside to understand each person's situation.
She uses a collaborative style that adapts to what the client needs. Conversations are shaped around the person's goals, whether that is improving relationships, coping with loss, or finding motivation after burnout.
Background and approach
Felicity emphasises simple, realistic steps that can be tried between sessions. With around ten years of professional experience and BACP registration, she brings steady clinical exposure without using jargon. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and looks for small changes that make daily life feel easier.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish for those who prefer either language. Felicity routinely draws on client-centred dialogue so people feel heard and understood. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set achievable short-term goals, and motivational interviewing to support commitment to change.
These practical methods aim to make progress clear and measurable. People who choose her often want straightforward support for grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, or life transitions. She also helps with issues related to attachment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness.
Her style is calm, encouraging and focused on what works next.

Online support
Motivational Interviewing helps people find the reasons they want change and build commitment. It is useful for tackling addictions, low motivation, or big life shifts by turning vague goals into clear next steps.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that lead to improvement. Sessions identify what is already working and build on those moments to create quick, achievable goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and together you will decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as you progress.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when writing helps you think things through. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity between appointments.
