Carly Delaney , BACP

Carly Delaney is a BACP-registered therapist in the United Kingdom who provides both long- and short-term counselling to clients of all ages. With nine years of clinical experience, she blends a clear grounding in psychodynamic therapy with flexible use of evidence-based techniques to meet the specific needs of each person she works with.

Trained predominantly in psychodynamic approaches, Carly helps clients explore how past experiences and long-standing patterns can influence current feelings and behaviours. She complements that work by drawing on other therapeutic methods as appropriate, tailoring interventions to issues such as stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes.

Known for an intuitive and creative style, Carly collaborates with clients to set clear therapy goals and to decide whether a short-term focus or a longer process is most helpful. She supports work on related concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, midlife transitions, panic, self-worth, sexuality, and women's issues.

As a BACP-registered practitioner - BACP being the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - Carly aims to adapt her approach to each individual so that therapy fits the client’s circumstances and goals.

Psychodynamic and Integrative Approaches Offered Online

Carly primarily uses psychodynamic therapy, which involves exploring how past relationships, early experiences, and unconscious patterns influence present emotions and behaviours. This approach can help with long-standing patterns, relationship difficulties, and making sense of recurring emotional responses. She also uses a flexible, integrative approach that draws on evidence-based techniques as needed - adapting tools and interventions to address problems like anxiety, trauma-related responses, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Carly works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best. She discusses goals and preferences openly and adjusts methods over time so that therapy remains relevant to the client’s changing needs.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, offering greater flexibility for scheduling and for working from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes and to choose the format that feels most comfortable while still engaging in meaningful therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
