About Carly

Carly Delaney is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, stress and life changes. She commonly supports individuals dealing with depression, trauma and family-related concerns, including panic attacks and difficulties with attachment. Carly aims for straightforward conversations that feel safe and understandable for worried parents and busy adults.

She works in both short-term and longer-term ways, depending on what someone needs. Carly trained mainly in psychodynamic therapy and adapts techniques from several evidence-based therapeutic approaches to match each person. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, spotting patterns that get in the way, and developing new ways to cope.

Her style is intuitive and creative, combining careful listening with practical steps. That might mean talking through memories that matter, practising ways to manage panic, or trying small behavioural changes between sessions. Carly supports people who want clearer communication, less shame or guilt, and improved self-regard.

Across nine years of practice she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including midlife transition, isolation, sexuality, and women’s issues. She encourages realistic goals and checks in about progress regularly. For anyone looking to address panic disorder and panic attacks, she offers focused attention and collaborative planning.

Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and conducted in English. Prospective clients are invited to use the site process to match with Carly and arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Carly primarily uses psychodynamic therapy, which focuses on understanding feelings, long-standing patterns and the life experiences that shape behaviour. This approach can help when someone wants to make sense of recurring reactions, relationship patterns or the background of panic and anxiety.

She also draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to bring more practical tools into sessions. These techniques can include short-term strategies to manage panic symptoms, breathing and grounding practices, and behavioural steps that reduce avoidance and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carly takes a collaborative stance, discussing goals and preferences and then shaping a mix of methods that suit each person’s needs. She reviews progress and adapts the plan as therapy develops.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer helpful continuity of care and practical strategies over remote sessions, while tailoring the frequency and focus to everyday life.
