About Carol

Carol Gordon is a counsellor based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. She holds BACP registration and has four years' experience. Carol works in a pluralistic way, combining approaches to match what each person needs. She aims to be non-judgemental and caring, and values each person's uniqueness.

Carol often helps people facing stress, anxiety and sleep difficulties. She also works with issues such as anger, low self-esteem, addiction, grief and career concerns. She supports people managing ADHD symptoms like procrastination, organisation and work-related challenges.

Her sessions draw on client-centred methods that place the person at the heart of the work. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns of thought and behaviour that get in the way. Mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy are available as part of a tailored plan.

Carol describes herself as respectful and compassionate. She aims to listen carefully, help people make practical changes, and identify manageable steps for everyday life. Many people come for help with relationship strain, eating and body-image worries, or coping with major life changes.

When someone begins with Carol, she tailors the session style and techniques to that person's goals. The first steps are straightforward: complete the site questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability. Carol encourages people ready to explore change to take that initial step.

Approaches you might use in online sessions

Carol often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that match them, which can help with life changes and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact, and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage sleep problems and change unhelpful habits.

The right approach is something to find together. Carol will work collaboratively to match techniques to a person's goals, needs and preferences. Early sessions typically involve understanding current problems, trying a few strategies, and deciding what to keep or adapt as therapy continues.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not state them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that suits, and remove the need to travel. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises or breathing practice from their own surroundings and try tools that transfer to everyday life.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
