About Zoe

Zoe Powell Martin is a counsellor with seven years' experience offering online therapy across the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of related concerns. Zoe aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward from the first contact.

Her approach is collaborative and person-centred. She encourages shared decision-making so each plan is matched to what the person wants to achieve.

Background and approach

That can mean focusing on practical coping skills for day-to-day stress or exploring past experiences that continue to cause pain. Zoe draws on several methods to tailor sessions, including trauma-focused work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. She explains options clearly and adapts to the pace someone prefers.

Sessions can include talking through painful memories, learning ways to manage emotions, or building strategies to change behaviours that no longer serve the person. People often come for help with relationships, self-esteem, grief, work stress, addictions, and identity issues linked to LGBT concerns. Zoe also supports those dealing with chronic health issues, caregiving strain, and dissociation by breaking issues into manageable steps.

Her registration with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) is listed as a credential. Zoe offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She works online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit around everyday life.

Ways of working Zoe names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Many clients find trauma-focused work helpful when past events still cause high levels of distress. This approach looks at how difficult experiences affect your thoughts, emotions and daily life, and uses gradual, paced steps to reduce their hold.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying core values and taking small, meaningful actions despite painful thoughts or feelings. It helps people struggling with anxiety, depression, low motivation or life transitions by shifting attention to what matters most.

Attachment-based ideas examine how early relationships shape current patterns in partnership and trust. This perspective can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment fears, and communication problems by identifying repeating patterns and trying new ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to understand goals, preferences and practical needs. Together they will try methods that fit each person's situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, writing through thoughts, or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
