Carol Gordon, BACP

Carol Gordon is a pluralistic counsellor, Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT), and life purpose coach based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. As a pluralistic practitioner she blends different therapeutic methods to design sessions that reflect each person's specific needs and preferences. She also holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings four years of professional experience to her work.

Carol specialises in supporting people with ADHD-related challenges, including procrastination, organisation, sleep difficulties, anxiety and career concerns. She works with a wide range of issues such as stress, anger, self-esteem, relationships, trauma, grief and parenting, adapting her approach to what will be most helpful for the individual.

Known for a non-judgmental, caring and compassionate manner, Carol emphasises respect for each person's uniqueness and personal pace. Her counselling toolbox includes person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and hypnotherapy, each used to address practical problems and emotional patterns. She encourages taking the first step toward change and views that initial action as the beginning of a journey toward a more fulfilling life. If someone is ready to explore goals and make changes, Carol welcomes contact to discuss how she can help.

Approach-driven online therapy and practical support

Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. It is helpful for people seeking understanding, self-esteem work, relationship issues and emotional support. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a practical, problem-focused approach that explores links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and is commonly used for anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties and low mood. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access internal resources and support changes in habits or responses - it can be applied to issues such as sleep, addictive patterns and motivation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align best with their goals, preferences and presenting concerns, and will adapt the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions through video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity during life changes, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with registered professionals and therapists.
