Carly Delaney helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or big life changes. She writes and talks plainly, and aims to make therapy feel manageable for someone seeking help. Carly's name appears here because she believes in clear, honest connection from the first session.

Carly has nine years' experience and holds BACP registration, which is noted as her professional credential. She offers both short-term and longer-term counselling and adapts the pace to what each person needs.

Background and approach

Sessions are offered in English and take place online in several formats. Her way of working comes from psychodynamic ideas, mixed with other evidence-based techniques chosen to suit each person. She helps people understand patterns from the past that show up now, and she links those patterns to how people think, feel and act today.

The work can be reflective and also practical when needed. Carly focuses on a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, panic and anxiety, feelings of isolation and problems with self-worth. She also supports people dealing with relationship communication problems, attachment and abandonment worries, sexuality and women’s issues.

The aim is to make sense of painful feelings and to build small, realistic changes. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to availability.

Carly tailors the approach so the work fits the person's goals and life circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Her work is informed by psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviours. This approach can help people understand recurring patterns, attachment issues and feelings that feel hard to shift.

She also uses a mix of evidence-based techniques chosen to match individual needs. That might include practical strategies for panic and anxiety, or techniques to reduce isolation and build self-compassion. Each method is explained and agreed with the person during the early sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Carly works collaboratively to set goals and to try methods that fit a person's needs and preferences. If something isn't working, she adapts the plan so the work remains relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text messaging, which makes fitting therapy around work, family and daily life easier. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from anywhere; phone sessions can be useful when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer written check-ins or who want a flexible way to reflect between sessions.
