About Carly

Carly Delaney is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She offers both long and short term counselling and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Carly also helps with family issues, trauma and abuse, and concerns linked to guilt and shame.

She trained mainly in psychodynamic therapy and draws on techniques from other approaches as needed. Sessions focus on defining practical goals and understanding the context for feelings and behaviours. Carly aims to help people talk through what matters and notice patterns that keep problems repeating.

Clients commonly bring difficulties such as abandonment fears, attachment issues, panic attacks, isolation and low self-worth. Carly also supports people dealing with communication problems, sexuality, women's issues and midlife concerns. She works in a straightforward way to identify what a client wants from counselling and how to get there.

Carly adapts her approach depending on each person's needs. That might mean spending time on past relationships to understand current reactions, or using different techniques to manage anxiety and panic. The emphasis is on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than labels.

People who book are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. Carly offers counselling in English and does not take international clients.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling

Carly trained predominantly in psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how past relationships influence current feelings and behaviour. That approach can help when guilt or shame link back to earlier attachments or family dynamics.

She also draws on a small selection of evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to meet a person's needs. These practical techniques can include ways to manage panic and anxiety, or methods to improve communication and reduce overwhelming stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carly will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that best fit those aims. The process is collaborative and may change as needs become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example avoiding travel, having shorter check-ins during a busy day, or choosing a phone call when video is difficult. Look for the online therapy options button to complete the matching questionnaire and arrange the first session.
