Carol Gordon, BACP

Carol Gordon is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines several approaches to meet each person's needs. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings four years of practice to sessions that focus on practical life concerns. Carol describes herself as caring and non-judgemental and aims to make the first step towards change feel manageable.

Clients often talk with her about stress, anxiety and sleep problems. She also helps people facing ADHD-related challenges such as procrastination, organisation and career impacts. Other common concerns include low self-esteem, grief, addictions and coping with life changes.

Carol uses a pluralistic way of working, which means she draws on different methods depending on what helps a person most. That can include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Jungian ideas and hypnotherapy techniques. She explains things plainly and adapts her style to fit the person in front of her.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps and everyday strategies alongside reflective work about values and life purpose. Conversations cover thoughts, behaviours and small routines that can be changed to reduce stress and improve sleep. Carol also supports people working through relationship and intimacy-related issues and family concerns by helping them clarify priorities and communication patterns.

People who choose Carol can expect a respectful, steady approach that values their individual difference. To begin they use a simple online matching process and then schedule sessions according to appointment times offered.

How Carol’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and then take small steps towards those values. It is often used for stress, anxiety and life-purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and changes practical behaviours to ease symptoms like low mood, sleep problems and anxiety. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and suggestion to support habit change and access different ways of thinking about a problem.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Carol will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods that could help. That decision is collaborative and may be refined as sessions progress.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It also lets people use tools such as worksheets and guided exercises during the session to practise new routines between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that remote sessions still support meaningful change when approaches and practical arrangements suit the client.
