About Zoe
Zoe Powell Martin is a counsellor who uses a collaborative, person-focused approach. She works online and aims to create a warm and supportive space where people can talk about what matters to them. Zoe holds BACP accreditation which appears after her name as BACP.
Zoe combines practical therapies with steady, respectful listening. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and depression.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around the person rather than a fixed script. She also supports people facing relationship stresses, grief, trauma and addiction-related concerns. There is attention to intimacy-related issues, career strain and compassion fatigue alongside challenges such as ADHD and body-image worries.
Zoe works with a broad range of life changes and emotional struggles. Her style aims to balance practical tools with exploring feelings and patterns. That can mean learning new coping skills, identifying unhelpful thinking, or practising different ways of relating to others.
Progress is usually steady and based on what the person wants to achieve. Zoe has seven years of practice experience and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Appointments are delivered online in formats that suit different needs and schedules.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while helping people move toward values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and problem-solving. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships affect current ways of relating and can help with intimacy problems, trust issues and repeated relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide which elements to use and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and responsive.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for fitting sessions into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want regular check-ins. These formats give flexibility for different rhythms and needs and make ongoing support more accessible for people in the UK and internationally.
