She has worked therapeutically with both individuals and groups, and has provided training in a number of therapeutic approaches.

Felicity is experienced in working with young people presenting with a wide variety of difficulties, including low mood, anxiety, and relationship issues. She is able to help with issues around toileting, sleep and behaviour. Felicity also enjoys working with parents and carers to further develop their understanding of a child’s difficulties and think together about ways of moving forward.

Felicity aims to provide a warm, non-judgemental space to support families with the difficulties they are facing. She adopts a flexible, collaborative way of working and draws on a range of different therapeutic approaches. These include CBT, narrative and solution-focused therapies. Felicity places huge value on the therapeutic relationship and strives to be respectful, curious and creative. She is always interested in exploring the resources and interests of children and their families, and in using these in working towards their chosen goals.
