About Zoe
Counsellor Zoe Hewlett is a BACP member with five years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, LGBT issues and self‑esteem. Zoe also supports those facing trauma, grief, eating and intimacy concerns, and people navigating life changes such as career shifts or ADHD-related challenges.
She uses straightforward, practical sessions that help people develop coping skills and clearer thinking. Zoe draws on Client‑Centered methods to listen and build rapport. She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking patterns and how they affect feelings and behaviour, and existential ideas to consider meaning and values.
Clients can expect a focus on real-life steps. Sessions often include problem‑solving, simple action plans and reflective conversation. Zoe works one‑to‑one and aims to help people manage day-to-day life and move towards their goals.
Her background includes work across a range of settings and cultural contexts. She notes experience with people in emergency housing and other complex situations, and has provided support where risk factors needed careful management.
Practical arrangements are discussed at first contact. Zoe normally works evenings and weekends, with occasional daytime appointments by request. For online counselling options and to arrange a first session, follow the site's booking steps and complete the short matching questionnaire.
Approaches used in online counselling
Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means the counsellor listens without judgement and reflects back what the client says to build understanding. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through feelings or clarify what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to try out new behaviours. This is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress where practical steps are needed.
Zoe also draws on Existential Therapy ideas to consider questions about meaning, values and life choices. That work can help when someone is facing big changes or wondering about life purpose.
Picking the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That plan can change as therapy progresses and as different methods prove more or less useful.
The biography does not state which specific session formats are used, so confirm the options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. Ask at first contact about session length and scheduling to find what suits everyday life.
