Background and approach

Zoe has three years of professional experience that inform a straightforward, compassionate approach. In sessions she draws on several therapy styles and adapts them to each person. This means conversations can range from exploring past patterns to focusing on present choices and how they affect day-to-day life.

She aims to help people notice unhelpful habits and try small changes that can reduce distress. Zoe often works with issues linked to trauma and abuse, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and attention difficulties such as ADHD. She also addresses concerns like anger, career decisions, fertility and family-of-origin problems.

Her way of working is collaborative and paced to fit the individual. People can expect a calm atmosphere where there is space to talk, reflect and practice new ways of coping. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and acceptance. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helping them to find their own answers and build self-understanding. This approach can be useful for people feeling stuck, low in self-esteem, or unsure about next steps.

Existential Therapy looks at the bigger questions people face, such as meaning, choice and responsibility. It can help when life changes feel confusing or when someone is wrestling with loss, career decisions or emptiness. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past patterns influence current feelings and relationships, which can uncover repeating behaviours that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zoe will discuss different ways of working and agree on a plan together that fits the person’s needs and goals. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted over time as priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls provide a face-to-face feel while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and day-to-day routines, while still maintaining regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
