About Carol
Carol Gordon is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with ADHD symptoms, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and wider life changes.
Carol uses a pluralistic approach, combining methods to suit each person. She mixes client-centred listening with practical cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Hypnotherapy features in her work for people who find it helpful alongside talking therapy.
In sessions she aims to address day-to-day problems such as procrastination, organisation, sleep routines and career-related stress. She also helps people looking at intimacy, eating and body image concerns, and issues around control, jealousy and commitment. Short-term goals and practical steps are often part of the plan.
Her background includes work as a Rapid Transformational Therapist and life purpose coach alongside counselling practice. Carol explains therapies in simple terms and works with clients to decide what suits them. She uses person-centred methods to listen, then brings in CBT or ACT tools when they will help.
People who contact her are usually looking for straightforward support that addresses specific problems. She asks about current difficulties and what a better day looks like. From there Carol and the client agree on next steps and practical actions to try between sessions.
How her therapeutic methods translate to online work
Carol regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and then choose actions that reflect their values. ACT can be useful for anger, anxiety and life-direction questions. Client-Centred Therapy is offered as a foundation for conversation where the counsellor listens and reflects to help someone make sense of their situation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy provides practical steps and exercises to change patterns of thinking and behaviour, such as managing sleep, procrastination or impulsivity.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Carol aims to decide collaboratively which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She checks how exercises land, adjusts homework or techniques, and reviews progress together so the plan evolves with the client.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches, like CBT or ACT, translate well to video or phone appointments because they use talk, structured exercises and brief between-session tasks. Registered or accredited professionals can help you choose a suitable session rhythm and length that fits everyday life.
