Zoe Cliffe , BACP

Zoe Cliffe is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, low self-esteem and women's issues. She also supports those dealing with grief, life changes, parenting strain, workplace pressure and ADHD-related concerns. Zoe works in a calm, person-centred way that keeps the person in the lead. Zoe believes people are the experts on their own lives. Sessions are guided by what matters to the client and move at a pace that feels comfortable. She listens without judgement and helps clients make sense of their reactions and choices. Where useful, Zoe introduces practical coping tools. These include grounding exercises, breathwork, thought defusion and visualisation. The exercises are simple and designed to be used between sessions to help manage difficult moments. Over time Zoe aims to help people gain clearer self-awareness and build resilience. Her approach focuses on understanding, acceptance and small steps that add up. She encourages clients to notice small changes and to develop more confidence in everyday life. Zoe is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Her style is warm, collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Person-centred support and online access

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement. The therapist offers a compassionate space where the client's concerns set the agenda and the counsellor reflects and clarifies to help make sense of feelings and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship questions and life transitions.

Zoe also uses simple, practical coping techniques alongside her person-centred work. These include grounding exercises, breathwork and visualisation to manage intense moments and support change between sessions. These tools are offered collaboratively and only when the client wants them.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Zoe works together with each person to decide what helps most. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then adapt the style as work progresses. The aim is a cooperative relationship where the client feels heard and involved in choices about their therapy.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations when visual contact helps. Phone sessions work well for those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can provide brief check-ins, flexible scheduling and easier use during busy days. These options make it simpler to fit counselling into work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
