Jodi Pilcher Gordon , BACP

Jodi Pilcher Gordon is a BACP counsellor who works with adults facing stress and change. She describes herself as compassionate and non-judgemental. Jodi supports people who feel anxious, stuck, overwhelmed or not quite themselves.

She helps with common life pressures such as work or study difficulties, relationship strains and major life events. Jodi also supports people dealing with depression, self-esteem concerns and challenges connected to identity, including LGBT issues and women's issues.

In sessions she listens closely and reflects back what she notices to help people see patterns in their thoughts and behaviour. Her starting point is client-centred practice, which means she treats each person as an individual with their own experiences and values.

Jodi draws on a range of approaches to suit different needs. She may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work on values and action, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking and coping, and somatic or body-based methods to ground strong emotions. She also uses existential questions to help people examine meaning and direction.

She has six years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Jodi offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients when that arrangement fits.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging, so people can pick the format that suits their day-to-day life and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values even when feelings are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, stress and when people feel stuck in life choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for worry, low mood and work or study pressures.

Somatic approaches use body-based exercises and grounding techniques to help with strong emotions and physical tension. These methods can complement talking therapy when anxiety or stress shows up in the body.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and which methods feel most helpful, and then adapt sessions collaboratively as needs change.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions work when a lower bandwidth option is needed or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing to speak or who want brief, ongoing contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
