About Zoe

Zoe Powell Martin is a counsellor with seven years of practice who offers online therapy for people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She works in a warm, supportive way and aims to make sessions a straightforward space to talk, reflect and try new coping ideas.

Background and approach

That could mean learning practical tools for anxiety, facing grief, or sorting out relationship and intimacy concerns. Zoe has experience supporting people with depression, addictions, stress and life changes, and she also helps with identity-related topics including LGBT concerns. She offers help around career strain, compassion fatigue and the challenges of chronic illness or caring roles.

The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. Zoe pays attention to patterns that cause pain, and she helps people try small, practical changes between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and free of jargon.

Sessions are offered in English and available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Therapy uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their daily life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on the therapist’s availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transition work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing small changes to reduce distress and improve functioning. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zoe will talk with each person about their situation and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they decide what feels helpful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring roles or busy days, while keeping the focus on what matters to the client.
