About Carol
Carol Gordon is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Carol takes a flexible approach and adapts sessions to each person who comes to her.
She aims to make that first step less daunting and to help people move towards clearer goals and better day-to-day coping. Carol uses a mix of talking therapies and practical techniques.
How Carol works
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and hypnotherapy where appropriate. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change, such as sleep, stress or problems with concentration and motivation. People come to Carol with many concerns, including anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, grief, trauma, addiction and eating issues.
She also supports those facing career challenges, parenting strain, relationship difficulties and questions about life purpose. Carol works with issues connected to abandonment, control, impulsivity and feelings of emptiness. Her style is calm and non-judging.
She listens first and then offers straightforward strategies and reflective conversation. Practical steps might include breath and mindfulness practices, structured thinking exercises, or guided imagery during hypnotherapy. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking a session that suits their schedule. Carol aims to help people take manageable steps towards the change they want.

How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience without judgement, creating space to explore feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. Decisions are made together and can change as needs evolve during therapy.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter reflections, quick updates or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
