About Zoe
Counsellor Zoe Powell Martin is a BACP member with seven years' experience working with people online in the United Kingdom. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and a wide range of relationship and life-change concerns. Sessions address trauma, grief, addiction and issues related to identity, including LGBT matters.
Zoe uses practical talking methods to help people manage thoughts and feelings. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ways of working. Sessions are collaborative and focus on what the person wants to change.
She has worked with people facing career stress, compassion fatigue and the strain of caregiving. Zoe also supports those dealing with intimacy-related issues, anger and commitment or communication problems. Neurodiversity topics such as autism and ADHD are part of her practice.
Additional areas she covers include body image, chronic health concerns, blended family issues, and separation or divorce. Zoe is familiar with less common relationship topics such as BDSM and kink and can discuss how these affect wellbeing without judgement.
Her way of working is client-centred, using dialogue to identify small steps and coping strategies. People can expect to try methods that suit their life, for example behavioural tasks, values work and emotion regulation tools. The focus stays on practical change and clearer decision making.

How her approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and practical actions. It helps when someone wants to live in line with what matters to them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It often involves practical tasks between sessions to test new ways of thinking and acting. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how these affect current feelings and reactions. It can help with intimacy, trust and repeated relationship difficulties.Finding the best approach is something she does with the person. Zoe will talk about goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. That may mean using one approach more than another or combining techniques over a few sessions.
The biography states she offers online counselling, so please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It can also allow people to use telephone or lower-bandwidth options if that helps on a given day. Many registered or accredited professionals find online work useful for continuing regular sessions when life is busy or when in-person meetings are difficult.
