About Carly
Carly Stafford is a counsellor who draws on client-centred practice to help people manage work and wellbeing stresses. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings nearly four years of practice experience to sessions. Carly uses straightforward language and aims to make therapy feel practical and clear from the first meeting.
People come to her with anxiety, low mood and workplace pressures. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns and difficulties with intimacy or anger. Carly works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, autism and social anxiety among others.
Her approach focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. Carly uses elements from client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices where helpful. She explains tools and exercises plainly and helps people try them in day-to-day life.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. Carly aims to help people notice patterns, develop coping options and build more helpful ways of responding to stress. She also supports people exploring identity and sexuality concerns.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule. Fees vary with location and follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How counselling approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred work focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. In practice this means the counsellor prioritises the client’s concerns, reflects what they say and helps them find their own solutions. This approach suits issues like stress, relationship concerns and low self-esteem.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It uses simple exercises and experiments to test unhelpful patterns and build new coping strategies. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression and workplace stress.
Mindfulness therapy invites small, practical exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment. These practices can reduce reactivity and help with anxiety, concentration and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adapt methods to their goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
