About me
Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. My name is Zoe and I am an integrative therapist working online. Below you will find some information about my practice.
You might have a specific issue bringing you to therapy, or maybe you have a sense of things generally feeling difficult. Either way, I aim to create a space for you that feels curious, open and safe.
As an integrative counsellor, I work in a way that combines several models of therapy. My particular integration tends to draw from psychodynamic and humanistic modalities. As far as possible, this will be tailored to you based on your own unique needs and context. I am happy to describe this further if you wish to make contact, as I appreciate the language of therapy can sometimes feel inaccessible.
I consider therapy to be a collaborative partnership and I will always respect your autonomy. It is my experience that a strong therapeutic bond can in itself bring about positive change. I welcome ongoing feedback and will always be open to hearing how you are experiencing the relationship between us.
I work with a variety of presenting issues, which you will find listed below, but do have particular interest and experience in the following areas:
- Alcohol (this may be supporting you to explore your own relationship with alcohol, or supporting you if you have been impacted by someone else's alcohol use)
- LGBTQ+ identities
- Neurodivergence (regardless of whether you have a formal diagnosis or not)
I appreciate that seeking counselling may feel daunting. I offer a free, no obligation initial consultation online or on the phone. This generally lasts around 20 minutes and will give you the opportunity to ask questions and to get a feel for whether you think we’d be a good fit. Please take note of my availability below.
Please note - I will always respond to an enquiry, and aim to do so within 48 hours. If you have not heard back, please do check your spam.
