About Carly
Carly Delaney helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and coping with life changes using psychodynamic-informed counselling and other evidence-based techniques. She is BACP registered and has nine years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom.
Carly typically offers both shorter-term and longer-term counselling depending on what someone needs. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past experiences and patterns of feeling that continue to affect current life. She also draws on other therapeutic techniques as useful to address specific problems such as panic attacks or low mood.
Sessions focus on clear goals agreed between counsellor and client. Carly works with people to identify what they want to change and practical steps to get there. Where trauma or abuse is a concern, she helps people to talk through the impact and the ways it affects day-to-day coping.
She also supports people dealing with relationship patterns, attachment and abandonment concerns, guilt or shame, isolation and midlife transitions. Carly offers a direct, reflective style that looks at how childhood experiences, behaviour and current relationships link together.
Carly describes her work as intuitive and creative, adapting techniques to each person's needs. She aims to make sessions straightforward and focused so people can understand their feelings and try out different ways of responding. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session.
How Carly adapts therapeutic techniques for online work
Carly works mainly from a psychodynamic base, which involves looking at how earlier relationships and experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. This approach helps people understand recurring patterns, strong emotions and relational difficulties.
She also uses elements of other evidence-based techniques to address specific problems such as panic attacks, anxiety and depression. These methods tend to be more focused on skills and practical coping strategies that can be practised between sessions.
Finding the right approach is something she does together with each client. Carly will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods might help, then agree a plan to try and review what works as therapy progresses.
The profile does not list which session formats she currently offers, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use practical exercises between sessions and to try different ways of working without changing location.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
