Carly Delaney, BACP

Carly Delaney welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. She offers a steady, thoughtful space where clients can talk about what is hard and work towards clearer day-to-day ways of coping. Carly uses straightforward language and practical steps so conversations feel useful from the start.

Carly is BACP, which means she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has nine years of experience and sees people in the United Kingdom by online appointment. Sessions can be arranged as short-term work or over a longer period depending on what a person needs.

Her background is mostly in psychodynamic therapy, which looks at patterns from past experience that repeat in current life. She also draws on elements from other evidence-based approaches to suit each person. That mix lets Carly address immediate problems while also exploring deeper causes when helpful.

In sessions she helps people set clear goals, whether that is reducing panic attacks, managing overwhelming shame, improving communication, or finding more self-compassion. Conversations are paced to match what individuals need, with practical strategies offered alongside reflective work.

Carly works with issues such as trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment concerns, isolation and loneliness, sexuality and women’s issues, and moments of midlife crisis. She supports people dealing with panic disorder, persistent guilt, and difficulty coping with life transitions.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online support

Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and earlier experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. It helps when repetitive patterns, attachment concerns or long-standing guilt and shame are getting in the way of daily life.

Blending in targeted, evidence-based techniques provides shorter-term tools for crises and symptoms. These methods can reduce panic attacks, help manage anxiety, and teach coping strategies for stressful moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy journey. Carly will work collaboratively to identify goals and try techniques that suit a person's needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travelling, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging make it possible to stay in touch between sessions or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
