How Zoe works
Zoe aims to make therapy easy to approach for someone new to counselling. Zoe trained and registers with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings five years of experience working in different community settings.
That background helps her tailor support for people in complicated life situations. Therapy typically balances listening with active problem solving. Zoe draws on Client-Centred ideas to follow what matters to the person in front of her.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and work on practical changes. Appointments are offered across a range of online formats and can be arranged for evenings and weekends. Zoe aims to co-create realistic steps and action plans, from short-term coping strategies to longer term goals.
She invites people to start with a brief matching questionnaire to find a good time to meet.

How Zoe’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what matters to the person and on being heard. In practice this means Zoe follows the client’s pace, reflects what she hears and helps people clarify their priorities. It is useful for identity questions, low self-esteem and feeling overwhelmed.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Zoe uses short exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to build new habits. This approach is helpful for anxiety, stress and unhelpful eating patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zoe discusses goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then tries methods that suit those needs. She adjusts the balance of talking and practical tasks as therapy progresses so the person feels involved in decisions.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be quicker or work where bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to schedule evenings or weekends and to continue therapy through life changes.
