Carol Gordon , BACP

Carol Gordon is a pluralistic counsellor, Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT) and life purpose coach based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland who tailors her work to each person's unique needs. She combines different therapeutic methods so sessions are adapted to what an individual prefers and finds most helpful, drawing on person-centred principles, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy to support change.

With particular experience supporting people managing ADHD-related difficulties, Carol works on challenges such as procrastination, organisation, sleep problems, anxiety and career-related concerns. She also addresses a broad range of issues including stress, relationships, trauma, grief, self-esteem and eating or intimacy-related matters, offering practical strategies alongside reflective exploration of life purpose.

Carol approaches clients with compassion and respect, creating a non-judgmental space that recognises individual differences and personal values. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and integrates coaching tools where appropriate to help clients move toward their goals. For those ready to take a first step, Carol invites contact to explore how therapy or coaching can support a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support

Carol offers online work grounded in well-established approaches. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgmental environment where clients lead the pace and direction of sessions - this approach helps those seeking understanding, self-exploration and improved relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep issues, stress and mood difficulties. Hypnotherapy provides guided relaxation and therapeutic suggestion to support mindset shifts and behavioural change, and can be helpful for sleep, habit change and boosting motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carol works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She integrates elements from different models when that combination will better support progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. This range of options allows people to access licensed professionals and therapists from wherever they are in the United Kingdom, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and other commitments.
