Felicity Woolsey , NCPS

Felicity Woolsey is a humanistic, person-centered counsellor who focuses on understanding underlying causes and helping people develop practical coping strategies. She blends talking therapy with structured techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and elements drawn from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills.

She offers a nonjudgmental, empathic space where clients can explore their concerns and work toward change at their own pace. Felicity is an individual member of the NCPS, a professional counselling organisation, and she runs a private practice serving a wide range of client groups.

Her background includes work in substance misuse rehabilitation and mental health wards, where she facilitated group therapies and used DBT-informed approaches as part of treatment for conditions such as borderline personality disorder. She also has experience with couples and family work, young people, and a range of addictive behaviours including substance misuse, pornography and sex addiction, and gambling.

Felicity supports people with eating disorders, complex mental health issues, anxiety, depression, phobias, work-related stress, relationship concerns, and diverse sexualities. Her personal and professional experience contributes to a deep sense of understanding and empathy. More information is available at www.fwcounselling.co.uk. She looks forward to hearing from you.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Felicity offers client-centered therapy, which places the person at the heart of the work and emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and respect to help clients explore their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and reshape unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, tools that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Felicity works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors sessions accordingly so that the chosen methods fit the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Felicity is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible access for people with busy schedules or those who are not local. Working remotely makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to integrate therapy into everyday life, while licensed professionals and therapists can still deliver structured, effective support through these formats.
