About Carly
Carly Stafford is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, addiction and anger. Carly also supports those coping with intimacy-related concerns and self-esteem problems.
Her approach is grounded in client-centred therapy, with complementary tools drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day. Carly helps clients recognise patterns of thinking and behaviour, try small changes, and reflect on what works for them.
She also addresses attachment-related problems such as abandonment and commitment worries. Communication problems, workplace stress and social anxiety are common topics in her work. Carly is familiar with issues that can follow trauma and post-traumatic stress, and with supporting people managing self-harm thoughts and recovery from abusive relationships.
Carly works with young adults and other adults facing isolation, sexuality questions, or the particular challenges of autism and Asperger syndrome. Her sessions include conversations about grief and bereavement, including complex family bereavement.
Sessions are carried out in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and are managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes. In online work this can include setting brief experiments to test thoughts between sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online sessions aim to create that same conversational rhythm so people feel heard and can think things through aloud. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention exercises and breath awareness to reduce reactivity. These practices can be guided during a session and then practised alone between meetings.Deciding on the right approach is part of the work together. Carly will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. She will then suggest techniques from CBT, client-centred listening or mindfulness and check in about what fits the person’s life and needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue work when people are living abroad, since international clients are accepted. The focus remains practical - learning ways to manage anger, stress and relationship strain that can be used between meetings.
