About Carol
Carol Gordon is a counsellor practising in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years of experience offering supportive, goal-focused work. Carol describes herself as caring and non-judgemental and aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
Carol helps people with common life stressors such as anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem and anger. She also supports those facing ADHD-related struggles like procrastination, organisation and work difficulties. Other areas she addresses include grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and body-image issues, and career or life-purpose questions.
Her way of working is pluralistic, which means she draws on several approaches to match a person’s preferences and situation. She uses client-centred listening to help people feel heard, cognitive behavioural tools to address unhelpful thinking and habits, and mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate. These are combined in straightforward, practical ways during sessions.
Sessions are presented as collaborative conversations where the person’s goals guide the work. Carol focuses on small, achievable steps such as improving sleep routines, reducing procrastination, or practising new communication skills. She also offers life-purpose coaching when people want clearer direction in career or personal goals.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the published process. Carol welcomes enquiries from people in the United Kingdom who want a compassionate, tailored approach.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy involves noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match valued directions. It is helpful for anxiety, avoidance and making behaviour changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a respectful space so people can talk through what matters to them. It supports self-understanding and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits and ease symptoms like low mood or anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning may mix elements from different approaches and be adjusted as work progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy life and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to proceed, confirm the session formats currently offered before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often help people maintain progress between sessions with exercises and agreed homework, making online work practical for many everyday challenges.
