About Carol
Carol Gordon is a counsellor based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with four years of practice and a BACP registration. She uses a combination of approaches so sessions are shaped around each person's needs. Carol aims to be warm, non-judgemental and respectful, and she focuses on practical steps that people can try between meetings.
Carol works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps people facing ADHD-related challenges like procrastination and organisation, and those navigating addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma, grief and life changes.
Background and approach
Career questions, parenting strain and eating-related worries are also part of her remit. Her counselling draws on client-centred principles, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness, with additional methods such as hypnotherapy and Jungian ideas when they fit the client. Sessions typically explore what matters to the person now, identify small practical steps, and build routines that ease everyday pressure.
Carol describes herself as compassionate and respectful, and she works to create an atmosphere where people can speak openly about difficult things. She often helps clients break problems into manageable tasks and practise new ways of responding. Therapy starts with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to the therapist's availability.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Carol works in English and does not accept international clients.

How Carol works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carol will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose techniques that seem most helpful. The emphasis is on collaboration so sessions reflect what the person wants to achieve and how they prefer to work.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins around work or family commitments. It can also suit people who prefer to work from a familiar setting, or who want to use techniques such as mindfulness exercises and homework assignments between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists like Carol, often adapt their methods to suit remote appointments so that practical skills and reflective work continue to be effective.
