Zoe Hewlett , BACP

Zoe Hewlett is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also works with those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, issues around intimacy and self-esteem, and concerns linked to gender and sexuality including LGBT and gender dysphoria. Zoe uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises to help people cope better day to day.

She combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and existential reflection. That means sessions focus on what matters to the person now, spotting unhelpful patterns, and making choices that fit their values. Zoe keeps things practical and collaborative, helping clients try out small changes between appointments.

Her background includes five years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. This experience covers a range of everyday and complex challenges, including work and career worries, eating and body image issues, and difficulties tied to family or blended-family situations.

Zoe offers one-to-one support aimed at building coping skills and clearer decision making. She can work with impulsivity, abandonment fears, guilt and shame, isolation and midlife questions, and helps people explore life purpose and commitment issues.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The process starts with a short matching questionnaire to make sure her way of working fits the person’s needs and goals.

How Zoe’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions and build confidence.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try small behaviour changes, and develop clearer coping strategies for anxiety, depression and stress.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people facing life transitions, questions about purpose, or deep uncertainty to consider their options and make choices that fit their values.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and test what helps best. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs evolve, with clear steps to try between sessions.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face contact, phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or need less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
