About Felicity

Felicity Woolsey is a counsellor and an individual member of the NCPS with five years' experience. She works with people who are dealing with anger, addictions, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She also supports those coping with life changes, grief and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.

Felicity describes her practice as humanistic, using person‑centred work to look at root causes. She combines that with practical skills when helpful, drawing on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to build coping strategies. Sessions can include exercises for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

Her background includes work in substance misuse rehabilitation and mental health wards. There she facilitated group therapies and used elements of dialectical behaviour work for emotional regulation. That experience informs how she supports people with addiction and complex mental health concerns.

Felicity often helps people address patterns in relationships and communication. She also works with issues linked to sexuality and gender, including gender dysphoria, and with eating and sleeping difficulties. She mentions experience with problem gambling, porn or sex addiction, and substance misuse.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, repeatable skills that can reduce reactivity and improve coping. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Felicity combines person centred, cognitive behavioural and mindfulness ideas to help with reactive emotions and ongoing patterns. Client‑centred work focuses on talking through what matters to the person now and identifying contributing experiences. Cognitive behavioural work looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase awareness.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree on strategies to try together. That makes sessions a partnership rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all prescription.

The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy week and shortening travel time. The biography does not list specific formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can allow shorter check‑ins or sessions that avoid needing to be on camera, which some people find easier to manage around work or family commitments.
