About Zoe
Zoe Powell Martin is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works online offering one-to-one therapy for adults. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and ADHD among others.
Zoe draws on a mix of practical approaches to make sessions work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Attachment-based ideas inform her work on relationships, intimacy and abandonment issues.
Sessions focus on clear, shared goals. Zoe helps clients name what matters, test small changes and reflect on what helps day to day. Conversations cover thinking patterns, coping skills, and how past relationships affect current ones.
She also works with concerns such as body image, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and aspects of sexuality including BDSM and kink where clients wish to discuss them. Career, commitment and control issues are within her scope as well.
Zoe uses a collaborative style and supports clients wanting to address life transitions such as ending relationships, grieving, or adjusting to new roles. People who feel stuck after study or early work life may find practical ways to move forward in her sessions.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and taking action toward valued goals. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and cases where someone feels stuck and wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with stress, panic, and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape expectations and behaviour in current relationships and can help with intimacy, abandonment and communication problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with the client to identify goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and therapist review what helps and what does not, so the approach evolves from session to session.
The therapist's profile states she offers online counselling, but does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. They also make it simpler for people living abroad to work with registered or accredited professionals in the United Kingdom without needing to travel.
