About Carol
Carol Gordon is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She describes her work as pluralistic, drawing on several therapeutic approaches to help with practical day-to-day problems such as sleep, anxiety, stress and parenting concerns.
Carol often supports people who struggle with attention difficulties, including procrastination, organisation and related career pressures. She also pays attention to relationship strain, family problems and issues linked to grief, trauma and eating. Sessions aim to focus on whatever is causing immediate strain at home or work.
Her way of working is conversational and practical. She uses person-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Hypnotherapy and Jungian ideas also appear in her approach when they suit a client. The mix is chosen to match what an individual needs rather than following one fixed method.
In a typical session she will help you name the problem, try simple exercises and set small goals you can work on between meetings. For people with ADHD-related difficulties she addresses routines, sleep and motivation in concrete steps. For parenting and family concerns she helps adults clarify priorities and manage stress around caregiving.
Carol asks new clients to use an online matching form and then book a first session. She works in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches you might try online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress that affects daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on patterns of thinking and behaviour with practical exercises and small steps to change unhelpful routines. It often helps with sleep problems, anxiety and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and working at the client’s pace, allowing adults to clarify values and make decisions for life and parenting concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree a plan together based on personal goals and what feels practical. That choice can change as you meet and learn what helps in real life.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting meetings into busy days, shorter check-ins when needed and avoiding travel time. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to focus on routines, sleep, coping with family stress and short coaching-style tasks that fit around work and caring responsibilities.
