About Carol
Carol Gordon is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on a pluralistic mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years' experience. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to make sessions straightforward and accessible for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Carol adapts sessions to practical problems like sleep trouble, procrastination and organisation. She helps people manage anxiety, low mood, and stresses from work or relationships.
Background and approach
Trauma and abuse, grief and addiction are also areas she addresses with sensitivity. Her work blends client-centred listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also uses mindfulness and hypnotherapy elements when these suit a person’s goals.
Sessions are shaped around what each person finds most useful rather than a single fixed method. Carol pays attention to everyday impacts, such as sleep, concentration and day-to-day routines. She helps people set small, achievable steps and practises skills together in session.
Conversations are practical and paced to fit what someone can manage right now. People come to Carol for help with self-esteem, intimacy or eating concerns, as well as life transitions and career questions. Her aim is to support clearer thinking and steadier daily routines, so people can move towards a life that feels more meaningful to them.

How Carol uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviours to reduce symptoms like sleep problems, worry or low mood. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s perspective at the heart of sessions, offering a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk and to explore what matters most.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Carol works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She will check in regularly and adjust techniques so sessions stay practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for different routines. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing or want frequent, brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and travel.
