About Felicity
Felicity Woolsey is a counsellor and an individual member of NCPS with five years' experience in practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing addictions, anger, anxiety and depression, and supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Felicity accepts international clients.
Felicity describes her base approach as humanistic, often called person-centred, which means she begins by looking at root causes and how someone makes sense of their experience. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people manage strong feelings and unhelpful patterns. These methods are presented in plain, practical ways during sessions.
She has worked in substance misuse rehabilitation and in mental health wards, where she facilitated group work that included elements of dialectical behaviour therapy. That experience informs her work with people facing addiction issues, emotional regulation difficulties and complex mental health concerns. Felicity says she has direct experience supporting people with eating problems, gambling and sex-related addictions, and work-related stress.
In practice Felicity combines conversational person-centred work with skills-based tools. Expect a mix of talking through history and current problems, and learning coping strategies such as mindfulness, thought-challenging and emotional regulation skills. This is aimed at helping people reduce reactivity, manage anger, and rebuild better daily routines.
She runs a private practice and asks prospective clients to use the online matching process to arrange a first session. The subscription model for sessions varies by location and can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding how someone makes sense of their problems; online sessions follow the same pattern with space for open conversation and reflection. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and can be practised in-session with homework exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity in daily life.Working out which combination of approaches fits best is part of the early sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree what to try first and will adjust techniques based on progress, goals and personal preference. This is a practical process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking. Please check the current options when you arrange a first appointment. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family time, reduce travel, and allow follow-up or shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that skills practice, worksheets and mindfulness exercises transfer well to remote sessions and can be used between meetings to support progress.
