About Carly
Carly Donovan is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges and career questions. Carly also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations look at what causes pressure day to day and which coping steps fit into ordinary life. Sessions aim to make anxious moments easier to manage and to clarify relationship patterns that feel stuck.
Carly uses Client-Centred Therapy to help people talk through what matters most to them. That approach focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can find their own answers. She also draws on Existential Therapy to explore values, meaning and the choices people face when they feel trapped by routines or expectations.
In early sessions she works with each person to set clear goals and manageable steps. Therapy can include looking at communication skills, boundaries, and small behavioural experiments to test out new ways of relating or being in public. Carly encourages practical habits that make everyday life slightly less overwhelming.
Her background is built on three years of direct practice with people presenting a range of common life stresses. Sessions are conducted in English in the UK. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking so the first appointment runs smoothly.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s perspective at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects what is said, and helps the person clarify their feelings and decisions. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship confusion and self-esteem work.Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning and the choices people face. It invites talk about how life feels meaningful or limiting and helps people consider different ways of living when they feel stuck by expectations or routines.
Finding the right approach often happens together. Carly will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals, preferences and the practicalities of their life. That partnership helps set reasonable aims and decide what to try next.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work, family or caring commitments and avoiding travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when they have limited time, while others find video sessions useful for face-to-face conversation. Confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match personal needs.
