Zoe Powell Martin

Zoe Powell Martin is a counsellor with seven years' experience who offers one-to-one online therapy. She creates a warm, nurturing space and works collaboratively with people to shape each session around their needs. Zoe explains things plainly and aims to make the process manageable for someone worried or unsure about starting therapy.

She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with stress, anxiety and anger. These approaches get practical: noticing thoughts, choosing actions that fit values, and trying out small changes between sessions. Zoe also uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to build trust and understanding.

Many people bring worries about relationships, grief, trauma, addiction or work strain. Zoe supports those facing self-esteem struggles, intimate issues and life transitions. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, chronic illness, caregiving stress and body image in straightforward, step-by-step conversations.

Her style is collaborative and compassionate. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on skills that can be used in daily life. Expect a blend of talking, practical exercises and checking what helps between meetings.

Zoe is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.

How Zoe’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, anger and life transitions by focusing on small, workable changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and manage problems such as anxiety, low mood or compulsive habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as the client’s needs change over time.

The biography states Zoe offers online counselling, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or caregiving commitments and can reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for using exercises or worksheets straightaway during a meeting. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using ACT and CBT, commonly find online work suits people who need practical sessions that fit into busy lives.
