Jodi Pilcher Gordon , BACP

Jodi Pilcher Gordon is a BACP Accredited integrative counsellor who works with adults facing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties and life changes. She offers attentive, person-focused support for those who feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to regain balance, whether the pressures come from work, study, personal loss or changing relationships.

In sessions she concentrates on listening carefully to each person and reflecting back what she hears to help clients gain clarity about their patterns and choices. Her practice is person-centred, recognising each individual as having their own experiences and strengths. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Transactional Analysis to help people move through unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and may use Polyvagal theory informed practices, body-based methods or creative techniques for grounding and exploration.

Jodi frames her work around compassion and a non-judgemental stance and is LGBTQ+ affirmative. As a BACP Accredited practitioner - accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy which indicates recognised professional standards - she aims to create a respectful space where adults can work toward clearer understanding and practical ways of coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jodi integrates approaches that work well in remote sessions, beginning with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports moving toward a life guided by personal values - it is useful for anxiety, stress and uncertainty.

Her client-centred work focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental environment where the client is treated as the expert on their own experience. This approach supports self-exploration and can help with relationship difficulties, self-esteem and life transitions.

She also uses somatic-informed techniques that attend to bodily responses - simple grounding or body-based practices can be taught and practised in online sessions to help regulate overwhelm and access different ways of processing emotion.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jodi will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging offer flexibility for people juggling work, study or family commitments and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide ongoing support in ways that suit each client’s life and schedule.
