Carly Delaney

Carly Delaney is a counsellor who helps people feeling isolated or overwhelmed by life changes. She works with individuals who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship and communication problems. Carly explains issues plainly and helps clients set clear, manageable goals for therapy.

Carly has nine years of experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses as a professional framework. She trained mainly in psychodynamic therapy and blends other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match each person's needs. Sessions can focus on making sense of past experiences, changing unhelpful patterns, or building self-compassion and practical coping skills.

Her approach is intuitive and creative. Carly encourages people to talk through painful memories, current stresses, or feelings of abandonment and shame. She also offers support for panic attacks, attachment worries, and challenges that arise in midlife.

Carly adapts how she works to each person. Some people use therapy to resolve a single issue; others prefer longer-term exploration. In sessions she helps people spot patterns, try different ways of relating, and practice new responses to difficult feelings.

People who value clear, down-to-earth conversation may find her style helpful. She aims to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday life, while also attending to the emotions behind behaviour. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether this straightforward, thoughtful way of working fits their needs.

How Carly adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Carly mainly works from a psychodynamic perspective, which looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. This approach helps people understand why they feel alone or repeat certain patterns in relationships and daily life.

She also uses elements from other evidence-based techniques to meet a person’s needs. For example, she might introduce practical coping exercises to manage panic or anxiety, or simple skills to reduce rumination and build self-compassion. These techniques are chosen to match the problem being addressed and the client’s goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carly will discuss different ways of working and try things collaboratively, so the person and therapist agree on goals and methods that feel helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around life commitments, avoid travel time, and maintain continuity when circumstances change. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video when that suits someone better.
