About Carly
Carly Donovan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures and self-esteem struggles. She works with clients on career questions and on issues such as obsessive thoughts, panic attacks and postpartum depression. Carly uses a respectful and compassionate approach to every session.
She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Carly focuses on tailoring conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth, with space to talk through current worries and small steps to try between meetings.
Carly draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person’s experience central. That means the conversation is led by what the client brings and by building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship. She also uses elements of Existential Therapy to help people reflect on values, choices and meaning when life feels confusing or stalled.
Her work includes attention to communication problems, commitment concerns, jealousy, infidelity and the impact of domestic violence on thoughts and feelings. Carly also supports people dealing with social anxiety, phobias, guilt, shame and the practical strains of parenting.
People who meet Carly can expect straightforward language, patience and empathy. She invites clients to shape the pace and focus of therapy, and to try different approaches when needed.
How Carly's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk about stress, relationships, parenting pressures or self-worth. Existential Therapy looks at values, life choices and meaning, which can be useful when people feel stuck, unsure about direction or overwhelmed by big decisions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carly will work with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit their goals and situation. Together they can try an approach, reflect on how it feels, and adjust the focus as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be arranged to suit breaks at work, reduce travel time, or avoid long commutes. Some clients find remote meetings help them access support from home or a quieter place, while others prefer shorter check-ins when time is limited. Discussing practical arrangements during the matching and scheduling process will help identify what will work best.
