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 with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and questions around sexuality and gender identity. He also offers support around men's wellbeing. Gordon aims to keep sessions down to earth and non-judgemental so clients can speak openly about what matters to them.
Gordon uses a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. He creates a calm space where people can talk through sexual problems, relationship struggles and worries about identity. He listens without rushing and focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
His work draws on client-centred ideas that put the person's experience first. He also uses Imago approaches to help partners speak differently to one another, and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. These methods are used to address things like intimacy problems, communication breakdowns, and coping with life changes.
Gordon has experience supporting LGBT concerns and people navigating gender identity. He also works with issues such as attachment difficulties, kink and BDSM matters, polyamory or non-monogamous relationships, and sexual dysfunction. He can help with process or sex-related addictions and the guilt or shame that sometimes follows these concerns.
He works in English and is registered with NCPS. To begin, readers can use the site's Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and being listened to without judgement; online work using this approach aims to give space for honest talk and reflection. Imago Relationship Therapy concentrates on changing how partners speak and listen to one another, which can be used online to guide conversations and teach new communication patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy targets clear, short-term goals and small practical steps that clients can try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey and will be a collaborative decision. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and adapt methods that suit your situation. Together you can try an approach and adjust it if it does not feel helpful.
