About Zoe

Zoe Hewlett works on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, trauma and a range of life changes using client-centred, cognitive behavioural and existential approaches. She is a BACP member and has five years' experience as a counsellor.

Zoe offers one-to-one counselling that focuses on practical coping skills and clearer ways of thinking. Sessions often include talking through current problems, identifying patterns that make things harder, and trying small changes that can ease daily life. She describes using action plans to help people take steps between sessions.

Her background includes work across different settings and with diverse people. That experience has informed how she approaches complex problems and practical barriers people face. Zoe has worked with issues linked to housing instability and the challenges those situations can create.

She uses client-centred methods to listen to what matters most to each person and CBT to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep distress going. Existential ideas help when people are wrestling with meaning, identity or big life choices. Sessions aim to build coping skills and resilience for everyday life.

Appointments are mainly in the evenings and at weekends, with occasional daytime slots on request. Zoe asks people to discuss preferred times if the calendar does not show a suitable option. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Zoe uses CBT and client-centred methods online

Client-centred therapy is about listening to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around their concerns and preferences; it helps people feel heard and clearer about their priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and testing practical changes to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. Existential therapy looks at meaning, identity and values, and can help when people are facing major life questions or transitions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Zoe will discuss the options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and agree a way of working together that fits those needs. That may mean combining elements from different approaches as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Zoe aims to offer times that suit evening or weekend routines, and she invites people to request different times if the calendar does not show a suitable slot.
