Carol Gordon
Compassionate counsellor offering tailored online support
About Carol
Carol Gordon trains her work around each person's needs and goals. She is a BACP-registered counsellor with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. Carol keeps things straightforward and calm so conversations feel manageable even when topics are difficult.
She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. Sessions are shaped to fit how someone prefers to work and what they hope to change. That might mean talking through thoughts and behaviours, practising mindfulness, or using guided relaxation techniques.
Background and approach
Carol helps people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She supports those dealing with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and addictions. She also assists people navigating relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, trauma, parenting strains and career decisions.
Additional areas Carol focuses on include body image, commitment worries, communication difficulties and feelings of emptiness. She can also help with issues such as hoarding, impulsivity, jealousy and questions about life purpose. These topics are addressed in practical, step-by-step ways rather than heavy theory.
Her sessions often blend elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, client-centred work and hypnotherapy when appropriate. Carol aims to create an environment that feels respectful and non-judgemental. She works at a pace set by the person in the room.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Carol offers appointments by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which can suit different routines and needs.

How Carol's approaches work online
Carol commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters most and take small, values-led actions even when feelings are difficult. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns.She also uses client-centred principles, which place the person's experience and choices at the heart of the work. That means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the person's lead when deciding the next steps. The right approach is often a mix, and Carol will work with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy with Carol is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible, written ways to reflect between sessions or fit therapy around a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit sessions into everyday life.
