Carol Gordon , BACP

Carol Gordon is a pluralistic counsellor, Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT), and Life Purpose Coach based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. She combines a range of therapeutic methods to shape sessions around each person she works with, drawing on approaches such as Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy to meet individual needs. As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she aligns her work with recognised professional standards and a commitment to ethical practice.

Carol supports people managing ADHD symptoms, including procrastination, organisational challenges, sleep difficulties and anxiety, as well as career-related concerns. She also works with issues such as stress, anger, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and grief. Her practice extends to life-transition concerns, parenting, eating and body-image matters, and questions about life purpose and meaning.

Known for a non-judgmental, compassionate manner, Carol emphasises respect for each person's uniqueness and tailors her approach to fit distinct preferences and circumstances. She views the first step toward change as an important milestone and invites clients who are ready to explore growth and greater fulfilment to get in touch to begin that process.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life-direction concerns and helps clients build psychological flexibility.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where the client leads the pace and direction of work. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships and exploring personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties and managing overwhelming reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Carol works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while accommodating location, mobility and routine constraints.
