Zoe Martin-Harris, BACP

Zoe Martin-Harris uses a person-centred approach to help people through difficult times. She combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help clients manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Zoe is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She has five years of professional experience and speaks English.

Zoe draws on both professional and personal experience to guide her practice. She has lived through profound grief and a serious physical health diagnosis, and she speaks from that perspective as well as from clinical work. Sessions aim to be straightforward and down to earth, with time to talk and to work on practical steps between meetings.

Her work typically focuses on coping with life changes, grief, anger and low self-worth. Zoe also helps people address infidelity and jealousy in their relationships and supports clearer communication between partners. She aims to help people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and build small, manageable habits.

In sessions she creates a calm, non-judgemental space and encourages honest conversation. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and client-centred ways to follow the person’s priorities. That combination lets clients both feel heard and make practical changes.

Zoe is planning to complete a couples therapy certificate in summer 2025 and has already undertaken training related to relationship work. She recommends starting with a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit and then scheduling sessions that suit individual needs.

How Zoe's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects feelings and helps people speak about what matters most. This approach is useful for grief, low self-worth and times of big change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and try new coping strategies. CBT can help with anxiety, stress and anger by giving practical steps to change day-to-day patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Zoe will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether to use more client-centred conversation, CBT techniques, or a combination. The decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when broadband is limited or a screen-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and to keep continuity between sessions.
