About Carol
Carol Gordon is a counsellor based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, who presents a pluralistic approach to therapy. She holds BACP accreditation and has practised for four years. Carol keeps sessions practical and tailored, helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and ADHD-related symptoms.
She also supports those facing relationship difficulties, addiction issues, grief and major life changes. Carol describes her style as warm and non-judgemental. She aims to listen first and then plan steps together.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on everyday problems such as procrastination, organisation, sleep routines and managing strong emotions. The tone is supportive and straightforward rather than clinical. Her work draws on client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices.
She uses hypnotherapy and Jungian ideas where they suit the person’s needs. These methods are mixed to fit what each person prefers and finds helpful. In practical terms Carol uses conversations, simple exercises and short home tasks to help build skills between sessions.
She pays attention to patterns that keep problems going and to small changes that can make life easier. Goals are set together so people know what they are working towards. Carol offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different schedules.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.
Online approaches and how they fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small meaningful actions toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a supportive conversation where the counsellor listens and reflects so people can find their own answers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will discuss the different methods and try things out together to see what helps most. Decisions about techniques and pace are made in collaboration, based on your goals and preferences rather than a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow facial cues and a fuller conversation; phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections between sessions or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling daily commitments.
