About Carly
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience, Carly Donovan specialises in stress, anxiety, relationships and parenting concerns. She works with adults who want clearer communication, better boundaries around intimacy, or help managing everyday pressures. Sessions use conversational, person-focused methods drawn from client-centred and existential approaches.
Carly describes her work as practical and respectful. She listens to what matters most to each person and shapes conversations around their goals. That may mean focusing on immediate coping skills for panic or anxiety, or looking at values and choices when relationship or career questions feel stuck.
The client-centred element means the client’s perspective guides the pace and priorities of therapy. Carly pays attention to what feels most pressing and follows the client’s lead when exploring next steps. Existential ideas are used to help people face big questions - for example meaning, responsibility, or change - and to think about choices that shape daily life.
She also works with people who are affected by autism or Asperger syndrome, obsessive-compulsive concerns, postpartum depression, and social anxiety. Carly addresses issues such as jealousy, infidelity, guilt, forgiveness and communication breakdowns in relationships.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. People can expect clear discussion of goals, reflections on patterns, and practical steps to try between meetings. To start, users follow the site’s process to match and book an initial appointment.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client’s perspective at the centre. In practice the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s lead. This helps with worries such as anxiety, social fears and relationship communication by building clarity about what matters most to the client.Existential Therapy focuses on values, choice and responsibility. It helps when people face uncertainty, questions about direction, or difficult decisions about relationships or work. Conversations look at how personal meaning and decisions affect daily life and next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carly will discuss how these methods might suit the client’s goals and adjust the approach together. That means clients take an active role in choosing which ideas and practices to try between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to keep continuity of care when life is busy, while checking regularly that the chosen format supports the client’s needs.
