Carol Gordon, BACP

Carol Gordon is a counsellor based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience. Carol works in a pluralistic way, combining different methods so sessions match each person's needs and preferences.

She aims to help with everyday problems such as stress, anxiety and sleep difficulties. She also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, addictions, and career or parenting concerns. Jealousy and relationship struggles are listed among her areas of focus.

Carol uses person-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises. She also offers hypnotherapy and draws on Jungian ideas where helpful. Sessions are shaped around what an individual finds most useful rather than a single fixed method.

In practice she helps people with ADHD-related challenges like procrastination, organisation, and sleep. She takes a non-judgemental and compassionate stance and aims to respect each person’s uniqueness. Carol describes her role as helping clients take small steps toward clearer thinking and healthier routines.

To start, a prospective client follows the site process to match with her and then schedules a session according to availability. She encourages people who feel ready to begin change to reach out and begin exploring practical next steps.

How Carol’s approaches can work online

Carol uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy among other methods. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, life changes and feelings of emptiness. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies for problems like sleep issues, procrastination and low mood.

She also practices Client-Centred Therapy, which places listening and empathy at the core of sessions. That approach helps people feel heard and make their own changes at their own pace. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as the work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as the biography did not list formats. Online work can fit into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to continue therapy while balancing work, family and other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can help you weigh practical choices and find an approach that suits your life and goals.
