Carol Gordon is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a focus on practical help for day-to-day struggles. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience. Carol aims to make the first step into therapy as straightforward as possible for people who are feeling stuck.

She offers short, clear sessions that are shaped to each person's needs. Carol uses a mix of approaches including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and hypnotherapy to help with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and mood.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with ADHD symptoms like procrastination and organisation, as well as career-related worries. Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and body image struggles, addictions, anger, low self-esteem and difficulties with intimacy.

Additional focuses include feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, control and impulsivity, and questions about life purpose. In sessions Carol aims to be non-judgemental and compassionate. She listens for what matters most to the client and adapts methods to fit that person.

Practical strategies and simple exercises are introduced when helpful, alongside reflective conversation and exploration. Carol offers phone, video, live chat and text-based messaging sessions. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online approaches that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression and finding a clearer sense of purpose. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood, and creates space for people to find their own solutions through empathetic listening. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces straightforward techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for stress, sleep problems and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work, and Carol treats it as a shared process. She listens to what you want to change and what feels manageable, and then suggests methods to try. Over a few sessions the pair will adjust the plan so it fits your goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules. Video calls are like an in-person conversation when face-to-face contact helps. Phone sessions can be simpler when you prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, written reflection or when you need flexibility outside standard hours. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
