Zoe Martin-Harris, BACP

Zoe Martin-Harris is a counsellor who draws on client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. She holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of professional practice to her sessions. Zoe uses straightforward conversation to help people cope with relationship strain, grief, anger and anxiety.

She aims to make sessions welcoming and non-judgemental. People describe feeling listened to as they talk through difficult moments. Zoe can help unpack stressful patterns and identify small changes that make day-to-day life easier.

Zoe has personal experience of profound grief and a serious physical health diagnosis that she processed using talking therapies. That lived experience informs how she supports others through loss and health-related shock. She keeps language simple and focuses on practical steps as well as emotional processing.

Her work uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person’s pace and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try out alternatives. Together these approaches help with coping skills, emotional regulation and clearer communication in close relationships.

She plans to complete a certificate in couples therapy in Summer 2025, and already uses training she has undertaken to help people communicate better and manage conflict. To begin, the reader is encouraged to take the first step and use the Start Therapy button to match and book a session.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, helping them talk through feelings and set the agenda for each session. This approach is useful when someone needs space to process grief, relationship strain or major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses short, practical exercises to test alternative ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can help reduce anxiety, manage anger and build coping strategies for stressful situations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that aims to match style to need rather than impose a single method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting counselling into a busy week easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people choose whether to have a visually focused session or a simpler audio conversation depending on what suits them.
