About Jodi
Jodi Pilcher Gordon is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She works with adults dealing with work or study pressures, relationship worries, depression and questions about purpose. Her approach is steady and practical for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Jodi listens carefully to each person's story. She uses a person-centred way of working, which means sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed method.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a calm space to talk, some reflection back on what emerges, and simple tools to try between sessions. She draws on somatic ideas to notice how the body responds to stress, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to look at values and small actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are sometimes used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
These methods are woven together to suit each person's needs rather than as separate packages. Jodi aims for clear, plain conversation rather than technical language. She describes herself as compassionate and non-judgemental, and is LGBTQ+ affirmative.
Practical grounding exercises and gentle body-based work may be offered alongside talking. Working with her tends to focus on making manageable changes, improving communication, and reducing the daily impact of anxiety or low mood. Sessions also cover issues such as self-esteem, midlife questions, financial stress and isolation.
People find the mix of listening and practical strategies helpful when facing uncertain times.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Somatic Therapy pays attention to how the body holds stress and emotion, using gentle body awareness and grounding exercises to help people feel steadier. It can be useful for anxiety, overwhelm and reconnecting with bodily signals.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small actions toward those values. It can help when someone feels stuck or is avoiding difficult feelings by teaching flexible ways to respond.
Client-Centred Therapy creates a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and topics. This approach helps people who need acceptance and understanding as they work through problems.
Working out the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy. The therapist will collaborate with the person to find what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean using body-based techniques some weeks and more cognitive or values-focused work at others.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, those who travel, or anyone who prefers to meet remotely. They allow the same conversational work and practical exercises to continue without needing to come into an office.
