About Carly
Carly Donovan is a counsellor who supports people coping with stress, anxiety and panic attacks. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem and career worries. Carly presents a calm, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps easier for anyone seeking change.
She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Carly adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s circumstances rather than following a fixed script. Sessions focus on listening carefully, identifying immediate difficulties and working on practical next steps.
Carly uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a space where people can talk without feeling judged. This approach focuses on the person’s own perspective and helps with decision making and self-understanding. She also draws on Existential Therapy to help people tackle questions about meaning, values and life direction when those issues add to anxiety or stress.
In practice she will listen, reflect what she hears, and encourage small, manageable changes. Work may include practising new ways of speaking about problems, testing out gentle behavioural steps, and tracking what helps most. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and empathy. The counsellor reflects what the person says and follows their lead, helping them find their own solutions and build confidence. This approach often helps with anxiety, panic attacks and relationship worries by making it easier to talk things through slowly and safely.Existential Therapy looks at bigger questions about meaning, choice and values. It helps when feelings of doubt, uncertainty or life transitions feed into stress and anxiety. Working through these themes can clarify priorities and reduce the pressure that keeps panic or anxiety cycling.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Carly will work collaboratively to decide what fits best based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can blend elements from different approaches as that feels helpful for the individual.
