About Carol
Carol Gordon is a counsellor based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, who works from a pluralistic perspective and places the client at the centre of the work. She holds BACP registration and has four years' experience. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to adapt sessions to each person's needs and preferences.
She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with sleep problems, grief, trauma and addiction concerns. Career challenges, relationship issues and parenting stresses are also within her focus.
Carol uses a mix of methods including Client-Centred Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy. That mix is chosen to match what each person brings, so sessions look different depending on goals and personality. She also mentions work around ADHD-related difficulties such as procrastination, organisation and sleep.
Clients can expect a respectful and compassionate style. Conversations start where the person is, and practical steps are offered alongside reflective work. The aim is to help people notice small changes that add up over time.
Making contact begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling through the site. Carol describes the first step as often the hardest, and she invites people who are ready to explore change to get in touch.
How Carol's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist provides empathy and acceptance so people can explore what matters to them and find their own solutions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people make space for difficult thoughts while moving toward chosen values; it is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link, and uses simple experiments and practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods to try based on their needs and goals. That means sessions may include listening, reflective discussion, behavioural tasks or mindfulness practice, depending on what fits.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be useful when a quieter environment or lower bandwidth is preferable, and the therapist will discuss what will work best for scheduling and practical needs.
