Jodi Pilcher Gordon, BACP

Jodi Pilcher Gordon is a BACP counsellor who supports adults facing anxiety, stress and life changes. She offers calm, attentive therapeutic space for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. Jodi is LGBTQ+ affirmative and works with concerns such as career strain, relationship problems and low self-esteem.

Her practice is person-centred, which means she focuses on each person as an individual with their own experience. Sessions begin with listening closely to what matters to the client and what they hope to change. Jodi uses that information to help people gain clarity and decide on practical next steps.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help manage difficult thoughts and build workable strategies. Jodi may also use somatic ideas and reflective techniques to help people feel more grounded in their bodies. Transactional Analysis concepts can be brought in to look at communication patterns and decision-making.

Jodi describes her approach as compassionate and non-judgemental. In the room she aims to hold a clear mirror up to patterns that keep people stuck, while supporting them to try different ways of responding. The style is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

With six years of clinical experience Jodi works with a broad range of everyday and life-stage concerns. She helps people tackle issues such as guilt, loneliness, career choices, financial stress and finding a clearer sense of purpose.

Sessions are offered in English and Jodi accepts international clients. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions when convenient.

How Jodi’s approaches translate to online work

Jodi combines person-centred listening with practical methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. ACT helps people notice thoughts and move toward valued actions rather than getting stuck on difficult feelings, which can be useful for anxiety, life direction and coping with change. CBT offers step-by-step ways to spot and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and to build small behavioural experiments that change day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jodi will talk through different methods and tailor the mix to the client’s goals, preferences and rate of change. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as understanding deepens.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study and family life. It may reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep continuity when circumstances change. Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking to know which ways of meeting are offered.
