About Carol

Carol Gordon is a counsellor practising from the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years of experience supporting people through common life difficulties. Carol describes her manner as caring and non-judgemental, and she adapts sessions to fit each person's needs and preferences.

She uses a blend of approaches so conversations focus on what matters to the client. Sessions are practical and grounded. People can expect help with everyday struggles such as sleep problems, stress and anxiety, or feeling stuck in work or life direction.

Background and approach

Carol often helps with relationship concerns, anger, low self-esteem and grief, and she works with issues linked to eating, addiction and intimacy. She also supports people who are managing ADHD-related challenges like procrastination, organisation and sleep disruption. Her work combines elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, hypnotherapy and Jungian ideas.

That mix allows sessions to include practical exercises, reflective conversation and brief guided imagery when suitable. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Carol asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedules according to her availability.

Payment is by a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and practical steps. It helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match what matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session and uses empathetic listening to build understanding and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through clear exercises and skills practice, often useful for sleep problems, anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carol will talk through what fits best for each person, and adapt methods based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can change as progress is made or needs shift.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging gives practical flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or differing energy levels while keeping the focus on steady progress.
