About Zoe

Zoe Smith is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, and trauma and abuse. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Zoe presents a calm, approachable presence and aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable for worried people and parents.

She listens without judgement and helps people talk through what they do to cope.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding patterns that cause distress and on finding practical ways to change them. Zoe uses a straightforward style so people know what work will look like from week to week. Zoe draws on trauma-focused methods to help when past harm still affects daily life.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to test new ways of responding. Her approach is client-centred, which means the person’s priorities guide each session.

People set the pace and choose what to work on, with Zoe offering questions, reflections and practical suggestions along the way. With four years of experience, Zoe has worked with a broad range of concerns including addiction, communication problems, guilt and shame, intimacy issues and isolation. She offers sessions in English and works online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist’s schedule.

How Zoe blends approaches for online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people look at how past harm continues to affect feelings and behaviour today. It aims to gently access difficult memories and develop safer ways of coping, often by working at a pace the person can manage.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early bonds shape expectations of others and emotional reactions. This work helps people notice repeating patterns in relationships and try new ways of connecting and responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Zoe will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and adjusted as needs change.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when that matters, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or quieter time. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to work around busy family or work schedules.
