About Carly
Carly Donovan helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, low self-esteem and career questions. She also focuses on issues such as obsessive thoughts and compulsions, panic attacks, postpartum depression, social anxiety, and challenges related to autism and Asperger Syndrome. Carly works from the United Kingdom and speaks English.
Carly draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make sessions feel like a calm, non-judgemental conversation. She uses Existential Therapy to look at values, meaning and personal choices when people feel stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions are adapted to each person so conversations stay practical and relevant. Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She aims to listen closely, reflect what’s happening, and help people spot manageable steps forward.
Plans are shaped around what the client wants to change and what feels realistic for their life. Carly has three years of professional experience and holds BACP. That credential is shown as BACP, which indicates her registration in the UK context.
She tailors the pace and focus of work to each person rather than following a fixed programme. People can expect a calm room for honest conversation, focused on small, achievable changes. Carly supports clients who want clearer communication, better self-understanding, and ways to reduce anxiety and stress in everyday life.

How Carly works online
She also draws on Existential Therapy to look at values, choices and meaning when life feels confusing or stuck. This way of working supports people facing career crossroads, identity questions and deeper relationship dilemmas.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Carly will talk with each person about what matters to them and choose ways of working that fit their goals and preferences. Decisions about pace and focus are made together so the process feels collaborative.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session options the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let conversations continue when life circumstances make in-person sessions harder to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals use these methods to help people keep progress moving between meetings.
