Felicity Woolsey, NCPS

Felicity Woolsey is a counsellor who draws on humanistic, person-centred ideas to help people understand what lies behind their difficulties. She uses simple, practical talking and coping skills to help people get through hard times. Felicity works in the United Kingdom and uses her experience to offer a calm, non-judgemental space.

She often combines person-centred listening with tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness. That means clients spend time talking about their experiences, and then try small, manageable changes in thinking and day-to-day habits. Felicity also teaches emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills she learned while working in substance misuse and mental health settings.

Her background includes working in substance misuse rehabilitation and on mental health wards. She has led group sessions and drawn on dialectical behaviour ideas when appropriate. This experience informs her work with issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.

Felicity lists a wide range of focus areas including stress, self-esteem, trauma and grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career worries. She also supports people facing attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, ADHD, gender dysphoria and body image difficulties.

Felicity is an individual member of the NCPS, which appears as NCPS in her credentials. She has five years of professional experience and offers work that blends listening, practical techniques and mindfulness exercises to help people change everyday thoughts and habits.

How counselling approaches translate to online support

Felicity works mainly from a person-centred viewpoint, which means she prioritises listening and helping people feel heard before deciding on techniques. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual's experience and aims to create a respectful, accepting therapeutic space that helps people talk through things and gain clarity.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes. CBT tasks can include simple home practice such as noticing thought patterns, trying different responses, and building new daily habits to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These short, practical exercises can help with stress, emotional ups and downs and improving sleep routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods together and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process focused on matching techniques to the client's needs and preferences.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue therapy if relocating or travelling, but specific session arrangements should be checked when you schedule.
