About Gordon
Gordon Birnie is a psychosexual and relationship counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has three years of professional experience and helps people who are struggling with sexual concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and matters linked to LGBT identities. He also supports people managing anxiety, depression and the practical stresses of life.
Gordon offers a straightforward, non-judgemental style. He aims to make people feel safe enough to talk about difficult topics.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than medical labels. His work draws on client-centred listening, Imago relationship ideas, and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions can include emotional listening, looking at patterns in relationships, and setting small, achievable goals.
These methods are used flexibly to match each person’s situation. Gordon’s background includes specific experience with sexual health and gender identity concerns alongside broader mental health work. He uses his NCPS credential as part of that professional identity.
He works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. If someone is ready to begin, the usual route is to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to therapist availability. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Gordon’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises careful listening and reflecting what someone says. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them, which is useful for anxiety, depression and sexual concerns. Imago Relationship Therapy looks at patterns between partners and helps people notice old wounds that repeat themselves in relationships, which can be helpful when intimacy or communication has become strained.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals. It suits people who want short-term, action-oriented sessions to try specific steps between meetings. Gordon will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs and preferences, making this a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.
Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life because it can be scheduled around work and daily routines. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are held. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often use online sessions to make it easier to keep continuity and follow-up between meetings.
