About Carol
Carol Gordon is a counsellor who blends several ways of working to suit each person she meets. She uses approaches such as hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and person-centred listening to make sessions practical and approachable. Carol holds BACP as a listed credential and has four years of experience.
She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She focuses on what people want to change and on small, doable steps.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and preferences rather than following one fixed model. Carol aims to be respectful and compassionate in every meeting. People come to her for a wide range of concerns.
These include stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD-related difficulties, addictions, grief and trauma. She also supports issues around relationships, intimacy, eating, career choices and coping with life changes. In practice she combines talking-based work with practical strategies.
That can mean using cognitive behavioural ideas, reflective listening from client-centred work, mindfulness exercises and hypnotherapy tools to help with sleep or focus. The emphasis is on what helps the individual move forward in everyday life. Carol also pays attention to deeper themes such as abandonment, guilt, shame, body image and life purpose when these are relevant.
Her aim is to help people build skills, gain clarity and make manageable changes. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step starts the process.

Online support
How her approaches work online
Carol uses hypnotherapy to help with issues such as sleep, focus and habit change by guiding relaxation and imagery to support new ways of thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to choose actions that match their values. Client-centred therapy provides a listening space where the person feels heard and can make sense of their experience at their own pace.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and how you respond to different techniques. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust them as work progresses so the plan stays relevant to what you need.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging suits people who prefer writing between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping therapy accessible.
