About
Counselling and Emotional Support for Adults
I’m Carol Gordon, founder of Clear Haven Therapy. I work with adults who may be feeling anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in patterns of overthinking, low in confidence, or simply exhausted from carrying too much for too long.
Many of the people I support are used to coping quietly on the outside whilst feeling emotionally busy underneath. Some are exploring ADHD or recognising traits in themselves later in life, whilst others simply want a calmer space to make sense of how they feel and why life has started to feel harder than it used to.
I offer online counselling and emotional support in a warm, grounded, and non-judgemental way, helping people understand themselves more clearly and move forward at a pace that feels manageable and realistic.
My Counselling and Coaching Approach
My way of working is centred around helping you understand yourself more clearly and with less self-judgement, especially if your mind feels busy, reactive, emotionally overwhelmed, or difficult to switch off.
In our online sessions, we can explore the emotional patterns underneath anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt, people pleasing, low mood, or feeling stuck. Alongside emotional understanding, I also bring practical support where helpful, helping clients build awareness, confidence, boundaries, and ways of coping that feel manageable and realistic.
I work in a warm, supportive, and down-to-earth way, creating space for honest conversations, emotional understanding, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
How I Work
Many of the people I support have spent a long time trying to hold everything together whilst quietly struggling underneath. Some feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, self-doubt, or people pleasing. Others feel disconnected from themselves after years of adapting to everybody around them.
I believe therapy can offer space to slow things down, understand yourself more clearly, and begin responding to yourself with a little more compassion rather than constant pressure or self-criticism.
My approach is supportive, thoughtful, and grounded in real life. I understand that opening up can feel vulnerable, so sessions move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
