Felicity Kirlew, BACP

Felicity Kirlew helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about next steps. She speaks English and Spanish and works from the United Kingdom. Felicity presents a calm, respectful approach that aims to make it easier to talk about hard things.

She focuses on everyday stresses and anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, career changes, intimacy-related issues and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she works with include abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues and challenges linked to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Her practice uses client-centred work, which places the person's experience first and shapes conversations around what matters to them. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to find their own reasons to change. Solution-focused work is used to build small, practical steps forward rather than dwelling only on problems.

Felicity holds BACP registration, and she brings around ten years of professional experience to her practice. She says she tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs and treats people with sensitivity and respect.

She encourages a collaborative relationship where the client sets goals and the therapist offers guidance and structure. Felicity describes her role as supporting and empowering people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on active listening and empathy. Online, this means conversations that follow what matters most to the person and adapt to their pace and priorities.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation. Delivered remotely, it can be used to set realistic goals and plan small steps that fit into daily life.

Choosing the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration can be checked and changed as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. One practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions around busy days, making it easier to schedule regular check-ins. Remote conversations can also allow shorter, focused catch-ups when needed, and they remove the travel time that some people find hard to manage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and tools to work effectively at a distance, helping people move toward clear, manageable goals.
