About Carly
Carly Stafford is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy difficulties, anger, and low self-esteem.
Carly draws on client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness strategies in her work. She focuses on clear, practical conversations that aim to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. Sessions tend to look at patterns of thought and behaviour, emotional responses, and small experiments to test different ways of relating and reacting.
She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and issues that commonly affect young adults and people on the autism spectrum. Carly helps people talk through sexuality questions, commitment worries and isolation so they can make decisions that feel manageable.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She works at a pace set by the person in front of her and uses mindfulness exercises alongside skills-based CBT tools when those approaches fit. The emphasis is on short-term strategies and practical steps as well as exploring longer-standing patterns when needed.
Sessions are conducted in English and Carly accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often uses concrete exercises and short experiments to test new responses, which can be practised between sessions to help with anxiety, low mood and workplace stress.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s pace and helps people feel heard while they make sense of relationship and identity concerns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase present-moment awareness. These techniques can help with stress, emotional reactivity and sleep problems.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Carly will discuss goals, preferences and practical constraints and together decide which methods to try. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches as needs change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments, and it can allow shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions when needed to suit a person’s day. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to keep regular contact and maintain continuity of care.
