About Felicity

Felicity Woolsey is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression and family and parenting concerns. Her practice also covers relationship and intimacy issues, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and stress at work or home.

Felicity uses a person-centred approach as her base. That means she focuses on understanding what has led someone to seek help, and listens for what matters most to them. She combines that with practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness when these tools suit the situation.

She has previous experience in substance misuse rehabilitation and in mental health ward settings. In those roles she ran group sessions and used skills from dialectical behaviour therapy, including emotional regulation and distress tolerance. This background informs how she supports people facing addiction and complex mental health challenges.

In sessions she talks through patterns, coping strategies and communication habits. She helps people try out small changes and notice what shifts. The work often includes looking at attachment or control issues, and at how family dynamics affect daily life.

Felicity accommodates different sexualities and gender identities and lists gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns among her focus areas. She accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches work in online sessions

Felicity blends a person-centred way of working with practical techniques. Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on understanding root causes. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of their relationships and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It breaks issues down into small, manageable steps and introduces simple exercises to change patterns linked to anxiety, depression, sleep or eating difficulties.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and to manage strong emotions. These techniques can be useful alongside talking work for stress, anger or cravings connected to addiction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a way forward together. That discussion helps decide how much time is spent on talking, skills practice or structured exercises.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and methods to suit home and work routines.
