Zoe Powell Martin
Compassionate online counselling with practical tools
About Zoe
Zoe Powell Martin is a counsellor who uses evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She works online and aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can talk things through at their own pace. Zoe draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment work to shape sessions.
That means practical tools, plain language and attention to how relationships affect day-to-day feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are built around what each person needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. She has seven years of experience working with concerns such as depression, grief, addictions and self-esteem. Zoe also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue and anger, plus intimacy-related and relationship questions.
Her additional focus areas include ADHD, neurodiversity, chronic illness, body image and separation issues. Zoe is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and practises from the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and is available to work with international clients.
The online format allows a range of ways to meet depending on what suits each person. People who choose Zoe can expect collaborative sessions where goals are agreed together. She uses straightforward techniques alongside listening and reflection.
Practical steps and small experiments between sessions are often part of the process to help apply changes to everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It uses simple exercises and values-based goals so people can take meaningful steps even when things feel hard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is practical and often includes short tasks between sessions to try out new ways of coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Zoe will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative - clients and therapist agree on what to try and review progress together as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when face-to-face interaction helps, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options provide flexibility to fit work, family life or time zones while allowing regular contact with registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
