About Zoe

Zoe Powell Martin is a counsellor working online from the United Kingdom. She uses a collaborative style and aims to make sessions feel welcoming and straightforward for people who are worried or overwhelmed. Zoe creates a warm space so people can talk about what matters most to them.

She emphasises shared decision-making and works with each person to shape the focus of therapy. Sessions are built around the individual rather than a fixed protocol.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on a mix of practical and reflective methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with unhelpful thoughts and everyday coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people who want to live by their values, even when feelings are hard.

Zoe also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to pay attention to relationships and the way people relate to themselves. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills can be introduced for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed. She adapts these ways of working to suit each person’s life and goals.

She has seven years of experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and life transitions, and also covers issues such as trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD and relationship or intimacy concerns. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Zoe aims to work with people respectfully and without judgement as they explore changes they want to make.

How therapeutic approaches work online with Zoe

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving towards what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress where someone wants clearer values and direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies for everyday problems such as anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current ways of relating, which can be helpful for intimacy and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals and preferences. That shared planning means the approach can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring responsibilities or different time zones while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
