About Gordon
Gordon Birnie is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing sexual and relationship concerns, anxiety, depression and stress. He also supports clients dealing with LGBT issues, gender identity questions, intimacy and sexual difficulties. He writes in a straightforward way and aims to make conversations feel calm and non-judgemental.
With around three years of professional experience, Gordon draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful space for people to talk about what matters to them. He also uses Imago Relationship Therapy ideas when relationship patterns are part of the difficulty. Solution-Focused Therapy helps him work with practical steps and short-term goals when people want concrete change.
In sessions he listens closely and follows each person’s pace. Conversations are down to earth and focused on what the person wants to achieve, whether that is improving intimacy, managing anxiety, or finding direction in life. He covers a wide range of concerns including attachment issues, communication problems, sexual function and process addictions such as porn or gambling.
Gordon holds the NCPS credential and works in the UK. He offers therapy in English and does not take international clients. His practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.
To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability. Gordon aims to be approachable and practical for those who want help moving forward.
How his approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens with empathy and follows the person’s lead, which can help with anxiety, self-esteem and sexual concerns. Imago Relationship Therapy looks at how past patterns affect current relationships and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics that cause friction. Solution-Focused Therapy is practical and goal-oriented, highlighting small steps and resources people already have to manage problems and build momentum.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gordon will talk through what feels most useful and adjust methods based on the person’s needs and goals. That collaborative process means the focus can shift from exploring experience to trying short-term changes as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. It can also be helpful if someone prefers not to be on camera or needs lower bandwidth options. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to combine practical support with flexible scheduling.
