About Zoe

Zoe Powell Martin is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' clinical experience. She works online with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and she lists codependency among her focus areas.

Zoe draws on a mix of practical approaches to keep sessions focused and useful. She uses cognitive behavioural tools to look at thoughts and patterns that keep problems going. She also works with attachment ideas to examine how past relationships shape current reactions.

Sessions are collaborative and centred on what the client wants to change. Zoe aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practise small experiments and build clearer boundaries. Conversations include concrete skills and steps rather than only reflection.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients identify what matters to them and take manageable actions toward those values. For people dealing with grief, trauma or addiction, the work combines stabilising strategies with a focus on present goals.

Zoe accepts international clients and holds appointments online. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session, so initial meetings can get straight to the issues that matter. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when feelings are strong. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from earlier relationships and how they show up now. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways and practise different responses in current relationships.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will use a collaborative process to choose methods that match the client's aims, needs and preferences. That means trying out techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The profile indicates Zoe offers online counselling, but it does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the exact online formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use audio-only options when bandwidth is limited or switch between formats to suit a particular conversation.
