About Zoe

Zoe Powell Martin is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and concerns connected to identity and LGBT matters.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed approaches. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. Practical skills and small experiments are used between meetings to try new ways of coping.

Zoe helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger and career stress. She also addresses specific difficulties such as body image, commitment worries, codependency and communication problems. Her work includes supporting people with ADHD, autism and attachment issues.

In sessions she aims to make decisions with the person sitting opposite her. That means setting clear goals, checking progress and adjusting methods as needed. People can expect straightforward techniques alongside space to talk about feelings and life events.

Zoe accepts international clients and conducts work in English. She asks new clients to use the site questionnaire so she can match on goals and practical needs. Her service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location.

How Zoe integrates practical approaches into online work

Zoe draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts. CBT in practice means identifying patterns, setting small experiments and practising new responses between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy complements this with exercises to clarify values and take action even when feelings are difficult. ACT helps when avoidance or uncertainty get in the way of chosen goals. Attachment-informed work pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns. It looks at connection and safety in relationships and how that affects reactions now.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Zoe treats approach selection as a collaboration. She checks goals, reviews what helps, and adjusts methods based on the person's needs and preferences rather than imposing a single technique.

The biography specifies online counselling and psychotherapy but does not list particular session formats. Before booking, confirm the exact online session options available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use sessions from different locations if that suits their schedule.
