Zoe Smith, BACP

Zoe Smith is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and parenting strain. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Zoe aims to offer a calm, respectful space where someone can begin to talk about what feels overwhelming and confusing.

Her approach begins by listening to how a person copes day to day. She pays attention to thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going. Together she helps people notice patterns and try small changes that can make life steadier.

Zoe draws on attachment-focused work to look at how early relationships shape trust and closeness. She also uses client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience at the heart of each session. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify thoughts that increase anxiety and to test out new ways of thinking.

She has four years of experience supporting people through trauma, domestic abuse and addiction, and with common life challenges such as guilt, shame and loneliness. The BACP listing is the credential given in her profile.

Zoe speaks English and works from the perspective that change usually comes through small, steady steps. If you want a therapist who listens first and works collaboratively, she offers that kind of practical support.

How her approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps look at how early relationships affect current trust and closeness. It is useful for people who struggle with connection, fear of abandonment, or repeating relationship patterns.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and pace. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the person’s concerns, which can help when someone needs a non-directive, supportive space.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Zoe will work together with a client to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can shift over time as trust grows and new issues come up.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep momentum between appointments while trying out changes to thoughts and habits in real life.
