Zoe Martin-Harris

Zoe Martin-Harris is a counsellor who draws mainly on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural approaches. She aims to make conversations honest and straightforward. Zoe often supports people feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress or anxiety, or coping with grief and major life changes.

She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. Zoe also speaks from personal experience of profound grief and a past serious physical health diagnosis, both of which she says she worked through using talking therapies. That background shapes how she listens and responds in sessions.

In the room she focuses on practical steps and simple, spoken reflection. Conversations look at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going, and at small changes that bring relief. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques alongside client-centred listening to help people name what matters most to them.

Zoe works with relationship issues including infidelity and jealousy, and with managing anger and its effects on daily life. She encourages clear communication and steady problem solving rather than quick fixes.

When people start with her they will be invited to set straightforward goals and try practical exercises between sessions. The emphasis is on improving how someone copes day to day, and on building skills that can be used after therapy ends.

How client-centred work and CBT translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and met without judgement. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, checks understanding, and helps people find their own solutions. It is useful for building confidence and for talking through strong emotions like grief and anger.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, stress and managing angry reactions by teaching specific skills to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide whether client-centred listening, CBT techniques, or a mix fits best. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time or letting someone join from a quieter room. It also allows short check-ins or structured skills practice without needing longer journeys, which can help therapy sit alongside work, family and daily routines.
