About me
My name is Zoe and I am a fully qualified and insured professional person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist and qualified psychosexual therapist. I also support counsellors therapists as a clinical supervisor. I am registered accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and professional registered member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapies (COSRT). I have an office base in Weymouth, Dorset and also work via video call and hold a current DBS certificate. I work with clients who live locally, across the country, for individuals working abroad and Ex-pats that have settled in Europe.
I currently work online nationally and have face to face in-person availability in my location, with private individuals, couples, EAP companies, victim support, educational healthcare services and national charities. I offer Zoom sessions and telephone sessions where appropriate.
I have previously worked within the NHS in Dorset and with Somerset Partnership NHS in a counselling and psychological role. I also worked with a Dorset charity specialising in working with adult survivors of childhood abuse and have experience of working with a wide range of individuals and issues, from a variety of different backgrounds. Also supported a national charity supporting young adults and parents and also within drug and alcohol services.
I am able to work with clients of all backgrounds who wish to have a private and confidential space to explore current or historical difficulties and work with individuals and couples who are; professionals, parents, single, various sexual orientation, various stages of life, also students, autistic, Aspergers, D/deaf or hard of hearing (I have knowledge of BSL) and also clients who have learning difficulties or who have disabilities/abilities, mobility or medical issues. I am able to adapt my work to suit individual needs.
I offer long term or shorter term work and flexible contracts to meet clients needs and work with local companies, educational and health care services, victim support and employment assisted programmes.
I value individuality, difference, honesty and integrity. I respect you finding your own path, being entirely yourself and building trust and connection with you. I believe in the right therapeutic environment people can be empowered to find their own answers when they feel ready and in their own time.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
