About Jodi
Counsellor Jodi Pilcher Gordon is a BACP member with six years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. Her stated areas include career and workplace issues, life changes, self esteem and LGBT concerns.
Jodi uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. She listens and reflects back what she notices, to help people see patterns and make clearer choices. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ideas when those methods suit the work.
Her sessions may include simple body-awareness or somatic techniques aimed at grounding and reducing physical tension. Creative exercises and elements of Transactional Analysis are sometimes used to look at communication and relationship patterns. This practical mix is used to help with things like commitment issues, communication problems and separation.
Clients who mention guilt, shame or loneliness are supported to name those feelings and to find manageable steps forward. Jodi outlines options clearly and offers a steady, listening presence while people talk through difficult decisions. She also identifies practical ways to address money worries, midlife concerns, and questions about life purpose.
People seeking help around women's issues, young adult challenges or workplace stress can expect short, plain conversations about goals and next steps. Jodi is affirmative of LGBT identities and works with adults from varied backgrounds. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire and book an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress when someone wants clearer direction on what matters to them. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person says. That approach helps people feel understood and to see patterns in their responses to life events. Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative task. The therapist will discuss goals and try out methods to see what works best. Decisions about techniques are made together, based on the person's needs and preferences. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or study timetables, or useful when travel is difficult. Others prefer shorter check-ins by phone or audio when they do not want to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods so the work fits everyday life rather than the other way around.Areas of expertise
