Zoe Powell Martin is a counsellor who offers online therapy using a collaborative, person-focused approach. She works to create a warm, supportive space so people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Zoe uses clear, practical methods and listens closely to what matters to each person.
She combines approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to match different needs. That means sessions may include values-based goals, practical skills for managing thoughts and feelings, and attention to how relationships shape current difficulties.
Background and approach
Sessions are built together, so the plan changes as progress is made. Zoe has seven years of counselling experience and holds BACP registration. Her work includes a wide range of concerns like grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.
She also supports people dealing with career strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Additional focus areas include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency and relationship communication problems. She is comfortable discussing topics that can feel difficult, including BDSM and alternative sexual cultures, attachment wounds and aging or bereavement issues.
Zoe accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. People who start therapy will work with Zoe to set goals and choose the approach that fits their situation and preferences.
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and when life changes feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It can help with stress, depression, anxiety and managing cravings or anger.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for intimacy-related issues, attachment wounds and communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods and adjust the plan as progress is made. That shared decision-making helps match techniques to what the individual needs and prefers.
Online formats mean sessions can fit around work, caring duties or travel. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options provide flexibility so people can access therapy in ways that suit their daily routines.
