About Felicity
Counsellor and NCPS member, Felicity Woolsey has five years' experience working with issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She offers person-centred counselling alongside practical strategies from other approaches. Sessions focus on understanding root causes and building day-to-day coping skills.
Felicity describes her base approach as humanistic or person-centred. That means she starts by listening and helping people name what matters to them. From there she may introduce practical skills used in cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness to manage strong emotions and unhelpful thinking.
She has worked in substance misuse rehabilitation and in mental health wards. In those settings she facilitated group work and introduced skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. This has informed how she helps people facing addiction and complex mental health concerns.
Felicity also works with relationship and intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, grief and parenting strain. She offers support around eating and sleeping problems, hoarding, and difficulties linked to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She lists ADHD and bipolar among the areas she covers.
Her approach combines talking therapy with exercises and simple strategies. This might include mindfulness practice, noticing patterns of thought, or rehearsing different ways to handle conflict. People are encouraged to set clear goals and review progress together.
Sessions are provided from the United Kingdom and Felicity accepts international clients. She works in English and is a member of the NCPS. To begin she asks people to use the site matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping them to name what matters and choose the direction of work. It is useful for building trust, discussing life changes, and clarifying values.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviours and offers simple exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is practical for stress, panic, sleep and some eating concerns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce emotional reactivity and improve concentration. It can help with anger, emotional regulation and day-to-day stress management.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree on which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as sessions progress.
