Background and approach

She also brings existential ideas about meaning and choices when people are facing big life decisions. Zoe has five years of experience as a BACP professional in the United Kingdom. She has worked in a range of settings and with people from different backgrounds.

That practical experience informs how she plans each person’s work and the pace she sets in sessions. Sessions aim to build coping skills and resilience. Zoe often helps people create simple action plans for everyday problems and for longer term goals.

She can tailor work for issues such as ADHD, eating and body image, abandonment and blended family difficulties. Appointments are offered at flexible times, including evenings and weekends. Zoe works one-to-one with individuals using a mix of session formats to suit different needs and rhythms.

How Zoe’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers acceptance and reflects what the person says so they can make sense of their feelings and set their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to explore identity, relationships or life direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. Zoe uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviours that reduce anxiety and improve mood. This is often useful for stress, panic and repetitive negative thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zoe discusses goals and preferences with each person and makes a plan together. She adapts methods as the person’s needs change and checks in about what is helping.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face when they can; phone sessions suit quieter audio-only check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, written check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments.
