Zoe Cliffe, BACP

Zoe Cliffe helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and the strain of life changes. She also supports those managing ADHD, parenting pressures, workplace problems and compassion fatigue. Zoe works with people seeking clarity about career direction, life purpose and young adult challenges.

Zoe practises in a person-centred way based on the ideas of Carl Rogers. Sessions are led by the client and move at a pace that feels comfortable. She aims to listen without judgement and to help people make sense of their reactions and feelings.

Practical tools are introduced when helpful. These can include grounding exercises, breathwork, visualisation and simple thought-management techniques to use between sessions. The focus is on small, usable steps that support day-to-day coping.

Zoe has six years of clinical experience and holds BACP accreditation. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are not accepted at this time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Zoe uses these options to make therapy fit around busy lives and different needs. To start, choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Person-centred approaches and online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. It emphasises empathic listening, acceptance and helping people understand their own feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries and the emotional fallout of life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zoe will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. That way the pace and techniques can be adjusted together as the work progresses.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different situations. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support and when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
