About Felicity

Felicity Woolsey is a counsellor and an individual member of the NCPS with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on concerns including addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship and family matters, LGBT issues, trauma and grief, and the stresses that come with life changes. She also lists help for sleep, eating difficulties, career worries, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among her areas of practice.

She uses a humanistic person‑centred approach as the base of her work. That means she starts by listening for the root causes behind feelings and behaviour. Where helpful, she adds practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to build coping skills and reduce distress.

Her background includes work in substance misuse rehabilitation and mental health wards, where she facilitated group work and used core skills from dialectical behaviour approaches such as emotional regulation and interpersonal skills. She has experience supporting people with addiction including alcohol, drugs, gambling and problematic sexual behaviours, as well as eating disorders and complex mental health presentations.

In sessions she focuses on straightforward conversations and practical tools. She uses techniques that help people manage anxiety, improve sleep, tackle low self‑esteem and navigate relationship or family conflict. Clients looking for help with career decisions, parenting strain or the pressure of early adult life may find this approach relevant.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, the usual route is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the listed online options.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Felicity combines person‑centred listening with practical tools so conversations and exercises fit everyday life. Client‑centred therapy emphasises being heard and understood; it helps people clarify values and motivations when they feel stuck. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers clear strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and tackle low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Deciding which approach or mix of approaches to use is a joint process. The therapist will review your goals, preferences and the issues you bring, then suggest ways to proceed and check in regularly to see what is helping. This keeps sessions practical and responsive rather than fixed to a single method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make regular sessions easier to fit around study, work and busy schedules. It can also allow a shorter check‑in when time is limited, or a calmer start for people who prefer not to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt workbook tasks, breathing practices and thought‑record exercises to suit an online session so you can practise tools between meetings.
