About Carly
Carly Donovan is a counsellor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, career pressures and related worries. Carly works in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.
She uses a simple, respectful style in sessions. Conversations are shaped around the client’s needs and goals. Carly aims to listen carefully and respond with sensitivity and practical direction rather than long theoretical talks.
Carly draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a warm, non-judgemental space. That approach focuses on understanding a person's experience and building self-trust. She also uses Existential Therapy to help people face life choices, meaning, and responsibility when those themes feel overwhelming.
Her practice includes work on areas often linked to family life, such as parenting, intimacy, and relationship tensions. Additional focuses include anxiety patterns like panic, social anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, and the emotional fallout from infidelity, jealousy or forgiveness issues.
Carly holds BACP accreditation, which indicates a recognised professional affiliation in the UK. She has three years of professional experience and adapts sessions to each person’s situation. Taking the first step can feel difficult, and Carly aims to offer steady support while you decide what change looks like for you.
How Carly's approaches translate to online counselling
Carly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Existential Therapy in her work, and these map well to online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where the person’s feelings and choices are heard and valued; it helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries. Existential Therapy invites people to look at meaning, responsibility and life choices when they feel stuck or uncertain; it can help with career dilemmas, major life transitions and questions about identity.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carly will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative exploration often starts in the first few sessions and can change as needs shift.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work or childcare and avoiding travel time. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins on busy days or longer deep-dive meetings when time allows, helping therapy slot into everyday life rather than adding more to the schedule.
