About Zoe
Zoe Powell Martin is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' clinical experience. She works online with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with family and parenting strains, grief, trauma, addiction and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
Zoe uses several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build small practical changes. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect current difficulties.
Sessions are collaborative. Zoe works with each person to set priorities and agree on steps that feel workable. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be tried between sessions. She aims for clear, practical tools alongside reflective discussion.
People bring a wide range of concerns, including anger, career stress, compassion fatigue and the challenges that come with ageing or caring for others. Zoe also offers support for neurodiversity-related matters such as autism and ADHD, and for people exploring non‑traditional relationships and sexual cultures.
Her approach suits someone who wants a straightforward, adult-to-adult way of talking through problems and planning changes. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and to book a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and situations where avoidance keeps problems going. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns through practical exercises and between-session tasks. It can help with anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns learned in early relationships and how these affect adult connections and reactions; it can be useful for relationship worries and attachment-related anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then agree on methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as needs become clearer.
The biography indicates Zoe offers online counselling. Please confirm which specific session formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue with therapy when life circumstances change, while the counsellor and client decide together how best to use the time and techniques.
