About Carol
Carol Gordon is a counsellor based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. She holds BACP accreditation and has practised for four years. Her work aims to be flexible and tailored to each person she meets.
Carol focuses on practical steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. Carol uses a pluralistic approach, blending Jungian ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness. She also offers hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate.
Sessions are shaped around the issues a person brings and their preferred way of working.
Background and approach
She often helps people who struggle with anxiety, stress, sleep problems and low self-esteem. She also works with ADHD-related difficulties such as procrastination, organisation and career challenges. Addictions, grief, trauma and eating concerns are additional areas she addresses.
Carol describes her style as caring and non-judgemental. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly and try out small changes. Practical strategies and reflective work both feature in her sessions depending on what is needed.
Her background includes life-purpose coaching alongside counselling. That means conversations may include values, goals and next steps as well as emotional processing. The aim is to help people move toward a more balanced and satisfying life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Jungian Therapy offers a way to look at symbols, dreams and deeper patterns that shape a person’s life. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to bring these themes into awareness and support change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-driven action; it is useful for anxiety, avoidance and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions; the therapist listens with empathy and supports the client to find their own direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will talk with clients about their goals and try different ways of working. Together they decide which methods fit best, mixing depth work, practical strategies and coaching where helpful.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want flexible, brief support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
