About Zoe
Zoe Powell Martin is a BACP counsellor with seven years' experience working online from the United Kingdom. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or stuck after big life changes. Zoe also works with issues around self-esteem, relationships, addiction, grief and anger.
She uses a mix of practical talking and skill-building. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Zoe draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognise patterns and try new responses.
Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at close relationships and intimacy-related problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy elements support emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-centred practice means conversations are guided by the person who comes to therapy rather than following a fixed script.
Zoe regularly works with people who identify as LGBT and with those managing compassion fatigue, ADHD, chronic illness, or the stresses of caregiving. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds, body image and relationship break-up.
Her online practice uses collaborative goal-setting. Clients complete a short questionnaire before the first session so time is used well from the start. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Zoe commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when anger or frustration gets in the way of things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical and problem-focused, useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and for learning new responses to triggers. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zoe will discuss aims, preferences and practical needs and then shape sessions together with the client. This collaborative process helps decide which methods to try and how quickly to change course if something is not working. Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions are often chosen to fit therapy into a busy life - they can make it easier to attend from different locations, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, frequently use online work to make regular contact more manageable while keeping the focus on practical change and coping skills.Areas of focus
