Carol Gordon, BACP

Carol Gordon is a counsellor based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland who brings a pluralistic approach to her practice. She holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Carol aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and preferences, and she describes her style as caring and non-judgemental. She uses a mix of person-centred listening, practical strategies and therapeutic methods to help people make change.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, addictions and depression. Relationship and family difficulties, trauma and grief are also part of her caseload, alongside issues such as body image, commitment and intimacy-related worries. Carol also offers life-purpose coaching and support with career questions.

In session she combines approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Jungian therapy, hypnotherapy and client-centred techniques. That mix means a session might include reflective listening, practical exercises and gentle guided imagery when appropriate. She describes her manner as respectful and compassionate, and she adapts methods to suit the person in front of her.

Carol highlights help for common daily challenges such as procrastination, organisation and sleep problems linked to ADHD, as well as coping with change and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Her work aims to make small, achievable shifts that add up over time.

To begin she asks people to take the first step and get in touch so they can explore what would help most. Booking starts with the site’s matching and scheduling process.

How Carol’s approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) mixes talking with practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try out new behaviours, which is useful for worry, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy means the therapist offers empathic listening and mirrors your experience so you feel heard and understood, which helps when you want a steady, supportive space to talk.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol uses a pluralistic style and will help you decide which methods to try based on your goals and what feels comfortable. That choice is collaborative and reviewed as you go, so methods can shift if something isn’t working for you.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online or in-person options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, or to have shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about practical arrangements when you schedule so sessions can fit into your everyday life.
