Zoe Powell Martin

Zoe Powell Martin is a counsellor with seven years' experience who offers online therapy. She holds BACP accreditation, and she aims to create a warm and nurturing space for people to talk through what matters to them. Zoe focuses on collaborative work so each session is shaped by the person in front of her. Zoe uses a few practical approaches to keep therapy grounded. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose action that matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used when patterns of thinking and behaviour feel stuck. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and early experiences affect current life. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns. This includes stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, and also relationship and intimacy-related issues. Zoe also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, compassion fatigue and workplace or career strain. Additional focus areas include ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic pain and illness, ageing and caregiver stress. She also works with sexual and relationship diversity, such as BDSM and kink-related concerns, and with people facing separation, abandonment or communication problems. Zoe offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are conducted in English. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Therapy approaches and online working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and problems that feel stuck in place. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with trust, intimacy and repeated relationship problems.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Zoe treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods feel most useful for your aims. Together you can try ideas, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as you go.

The original biography notes Zoe offers online counselling and psychotherapy. Please confirm the exact session formats she currently provides before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their pace, whether they prefer practical skills work or deeper reflection.
