About Zoe

Zoe Powell Martin is a counsellor who works online to support people through difficult life moments. She brings seven years of experience and a warm, collaborative style. Her approach emphasises empathy and shared decision-making so each person helps shape their own therapy. Zoe uses a mix of well-known approaches to match what someone needs in the room.

Clients come with many different concerns, including stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people with codependency, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, and trauma and abuse. Other areas she supports include ADHD, addictions, self-esteem, career strain and compassion fatigue.

Zoe blends practical tools with reflective work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people make values-based choices even when feelings are hard.

Attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening shape the relationship in sessions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are available when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. The overall aim is to offer clear strategies alongside steady emotional support.

She is registered with the BACP, works from the United Kingdom, and offers sessions in English. People from other countries may be able to work with her online. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to Zoe’s schedule.

How Zoe’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still taking steps that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression and life changes because it focuses on practical action alongside acceptance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and gives clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can be helpful for stress, low mood and worry.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Zoe will talk through different methods and tailor sessions to the person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide what feels most useful and adjust that plan as progress is made.

Details about exact session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Some approaches lend themselves to short skills practice, written exercises between meetings and pacing work around daily life, which can be helpful for people balancing work, caregiving or health challenges.
