Carly Delaney, BACP

Carly Delaney offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She helps clients untangle painful patterns, manage panic, and find steadier footing after trauma or difficult events. Carly is named up front so visitors know who they'll be reading about.

Carly brings nine years of experience and BACP registration, and she adapts sessions to what each person needs. She often draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present feelings. She also uses other evidence-based therapeutic techniques when they seem helpful for the person in front of her.

In sessions Carly aims to help clients identify clear goals and small, workable steps. Conversations are practical and reflective, and she encourages people to notice how patterns show up in daily life. This can include working on attachment and abandonment concerns, improving communication, and coping with guilt or shame.

She supports those dealing with loneliness, midlife shifts, issues around sexuality and women's health, and the intense distress of panic attacks. Carly also helps people build self-compassion and healthier self-image over time.

Carly offers both short-term and longer-term counselling depending on someone’s needs. Prospective clients are invited to think about the problems they want to change and what outcome would feel meaningful before booking a first session.

How Carly’s approaches translate to online therapy

Carly primarily uses psychodynamic principles, which focus on understanding patterns that come from past experiences and how they affect feelings today. This approach can help when someone wants to make sense of recurring relationship patterns, childhood influences or deep-rooted emotional responses.

She also brings in other evidence-based therapeutic techniques when useful, choosing practical tools that match the issue at hand. These techniques can include ways to manage anxiety and panic, build self-compassion, and improve communication skills in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carly will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that feel helpful, and adjust the plan based on what actually works for them. The aim is to fit therapy to the person's needs and preferences rather than forcing a single method.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, reduce the time spent travelling, and allow for shorter check-ins if that suits a person's schedule. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity when life is busy, while still allowing focused therapeutic work.
