About Carol
Carol Gordon is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers help for people dealing with anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, ADHD-related struggles, and relationship and family concerns. Sessions also cover grief, depression, eating and intimacy-related issues, and life changes.
She uses a pluralistic approach, combining methods from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and hypnotherapy to match what each person needs. That means sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding how thoughts, behaviours and habits affect daily life. Carol also offers coaching around life purpose and career-related decisions.
Clients who find it hard to start conversations about emotional topics are guided through steady, manageable steps. Work can include setting small goals, practising new ways of handling stress and learning simple strategies for sleep or concentration. Hypnotherapy may be offered as one of several techniques where appropriate.
Her practice addresses a wide range of everyday problems such as procrastination, organisation, control issues, low self-esteem and difficulties with communication. The focus is on clear, practical tasks alongside talking through feelings and patterns that keep problems going.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients at this time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment via the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, avoidance and life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, often useful for anxiety, sleep problems and mood. Client-centred work emphasises a respectful, listening approach that lets the client lead the topics and pace of sessions.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, try different methods and agree together which tools to use. That way sessions can shift toward what helps most, whether that is short practical tasks or deeper reflective work.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life - for example they can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in between other commitments and make it possible to join from a quiet room rather than travelling. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt exercises like breathing work, behavioural tasks and brief hypnotherapy scripts for online meetings so that progress continues between sessions.
