She also supports those dealing with ADHD, grief, parenting pressures, career worries and compassion fatigue. Zoe works from a person-centred viewpoint and aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward.
Zoe describes therapy as a partnership where the client leads the pace and focus. She listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their feelings.
How Zoe works
Short, practical tools such as grounding or breath exercises are offered when helpful to manage difficult moments between meetings. Sessions focus on understanding reactions and building steady coping skills. Zoe emphasises self-acceptance as the starting point for change.
Over time people often notice clearer thinking, more confidence and a kinder relationship with themselves. She brings six years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a calm, consistent style that suits people who prefer reflective, person-led work with occasional practical techniques.
Zoe offers a straightforward way in for those ready to try talking therapy. The work is relaxed and paced to the individual, aiming to help people feel heard, understood and better able to manage life’s pressures.

Online support options
How person-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience rather than on labels. It involves attentive listening, empathy and reflecting back what someone says to help them feel understood. This way of working is helpful for anxiety, stress, relationship concerns and issues around self-worth because it creates space to make sense of difficult feelings.The therapist will collaborate with each person to find the best way forward. Early sessions are used to understand a client’s needs, goals and preferences and to decide together which methods to use. This collaborative process helps tailor online sessions so they feel useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and are useful for in-depth conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions or people who express themselves better in writing. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments.
