About Carol
Carol Gordon is a counsellor practising in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She describes her work as flexible, drawing on several approaches so sessions can be shaped around what each person needs. Her practice often addresses sleep problems alongside anxiety, stress and the everyday difficulties that make rest harder.
Carol focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She helps people manage procrastination, organisation and sleep issues that can come with ADHD, and she offers ways to cope with low mood, grief and relationship struggles. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at small, useful changes rather than jargon.
Her approach is collaborative and non-judgemental. Carol says she listens carefully and adapts methods to suit each person’s pace and preferences. Techniques may include gentle relaxation work and mindfulness alongside thought-based strategies to change unhelpful patterns.
She also works with concerns such as addiction, body image, hoarding and feelings of emptiness or guilt. Career questions, life-purpose reflection and parenting stresses are part of her remit as well, with an emphasis on building practical skills for everyday life.
Carol invites people who are ready to make changes to begin with a short matching questionnaire. The aim is to find a comfortable way to start talking and to agree on goals that feel realistic and meaningful.
How Carol uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most and take small steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and more able to try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful cycles affecting sleep, mood and behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That choice can change over time as progress and priorities become clearer, and sessions remain collaborative throughout.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which may make regular work on sleep or stress easier to maintain. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm current online options before booking. The focus is on making therapy workable for everyday life and on choosing techniques that suit the person's routine and goals.
