Jodi Pilcher Gordon, BACP

Jodi Pilcher Gordon is a BACP-accredited integrative counsellor who works with adults facing anxiety, stress, depression and difficult life transitions. She combines a person-centred approach with additional methods to tailor support to each individual, helping people regain balance when they feel overwhelmed by work, study, relationships or other life events. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and Jodi's accreditation reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards.

In sessions she listens carefully to each person's story and reflects back observations to help clients gain clarity about their patterns and responses. Her style emphasises a compassionate, non-judgemental stance that recognises each client as an individual with unique experiences and needs. She integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) elements and Transactional Analysis to support change, and she may draw on Polyvagal theory along with body-based or creative techniques for grounding and somatic exploration where helpful.

Jodi offers affirmative care for LGBTQ+ clients and aims to create a space where people can explore relationship difficulties, career and workplace issues, self-esteem, family concerns and other challenges such as commitment issues, loneliness, guilt and midlife questions. Her practice is focused on collaboration, helping clients identify practical ways to move forward and build greater resilience.

Approach-focused online support with Jodi Pilcher Gordon

Jodi uses a blend of practical methods to support clients online, beginning with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed by them and focuses on identifying values and taking meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. She also works from a person-centred perspective, which places the client's experience at the centre of the work and values empathy, acceptance and collaboration to help people explore their concerns and build self-understanding.

Where appropriate, Jodi incorporates somatic-informed techniques - drawing on body-based approaches and Polyvagal concepts - to support grounding and regulation when emotional distress feels stuck in the body. These methods can be helpful alongside talk-based work for trauma responses, anxiety and physical symptoms of stress.

Finding the right fit is part of the process and Jodi collaborates with each client to determine which approaches match their needs, goals and preferences. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support around work, family or travel commitments and from different locations.
