About Felicity
Felicity Woolsey is a counsellor registered with the NCPS with five years' experience. She works with people who bring problems such as anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship strain. Sessions address practical coping skills and talking therapy together.
Felicity combines a person-centred approach with practical techniques. She listens to what has led someone to seek help and then suggests strategies to reduce distress. Those strategies can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness exercises and core DBT skills such as emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Her background includes work in substance misuse rehabilitation and mental health wards. In those settings she facilitated group sessions and used skills-based approaches for people with complex needs. That experience informs how she structures both short term and longer conversations in therapy.
She also has experience supporting people with issues around addiction, eating difficulties, sexual compulsions and gambling. Relationship concerns, workplace stress, grief and identity questions are commonly discussed in her work.
Felicity describes being influenced by her own life experience and uses that to relate to clients in straightforward ways. People are offered practical tools they can try between sessions alongside talking through the events and feelings that brought them into counselling.
Sessions are conducted in English and Felicity accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions run on a cancellable subscription model. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Felicity uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses. CBT sessions are structured and often include specific exercises and short tasks to practise between meetings. Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and reflecting back what matters to the client so they can clarify feelings and choices. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress, useful for anxiety and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Felicity will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and she will suggest ways of working that fit the person's situation. That discussion is collaborative and practical, with room to adjust the plan as things progress.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations and to schedule shorter check-ins if needed. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful when they need convenience or want to combine talking with short skills practice between meetings.
