About Carly
Carly Stafford is a counsellor who focuses on creating a calm and supportive space for people dealing with anxiety and related concerns. She uses a straightforward, person-centred style to help clients feel heard and understood. Carly holds BACP accreditation and brings four years of practice experience to her work.
In sessions she listens first, then helps people sort out what matters most to them. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches are used alongside mindful awareness exercises.
Background and approach
This mix aims to reduce worry, manage overwhelming thoughts, and build small, steady changes. People often come with stress, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem or problems linked to trauma and abuse. Carly also supports those facing workplace pressure, social anxiety, issues around sexuality, and struggles with addiction and isolation.
She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when these affect how people relate to others. Therapy combines short practical steps with conversations that help people notice patterns. Sessions can include thought records, grounding practices, or calm breathing work.
Carly adapts the pace to each person and focuses on realistic, manageable goals. She works in English and offers online formats for wider access. Carly accepts international clients and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
How her approaches fit with online therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try practical alternatives. It often uses short exercises and homework to reduce anxiety and change behaviours.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance to help people feel understood and able to make their own choices.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These practices can be used between sessions to steady emotions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carly will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences and everyday life. That might mean blending listening-based work with CBT tools and mindfulness practices.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or help when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to send quick reflections between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help therapy fit around work, study and family commitments.
