About Zoe
Zoe Cliffe is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship worries, parenting strains and life transitions. She also helps with issues such as ADHD, grief, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Zoe works in a calm, person-centred way so the person in front of her leads the pace and focus.
Zoe uses a warm, non-judgemental style that aims to make talking feel easier. Sessions are guided by what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns, offers practical tools when useful, and stays alongside people as they figure things out. In practice this can mean exploring everyday reactions, understanding attachment or isolation, and untangling feelings of guilt or shame. Zoe may introduce simple exercises such as grounding, breathwork, or visualisation to help manage overwhelming moments between meetings.
Her interest includes supporting people dealing with workplace pressure, parenting stress, separation and the navigation of life purpose. She also offers support around neurodiversity topics like autism and Asperger syndrome, and practical help for those caring for others. Zoe has six years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She works with adults in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions to suit their schedule.

Approaches Zoe lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Person-centred approaches and online therapy
Zoe works from a client-centred framework that emphasises empathy, acceptance and listening. This approach helps people feel acknowledged and supported while they talk through stress, relationship worries, parenting strain and life transitions.She also brings practical, down-to-earth techniques into sessions when helpful, such as grounding exercises, breathwork and visualisation. These tools are simple to learn and can be used between sessions to manage anxiety, overwhelm and tough moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Zoe will work with each person to identify their needs, goals and preferences and then shape sessions around what proves most helpful. She adapts pacing and techniques so the work fits the individual rather than following a fixed routine.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a lighter option with less bandwidth, and messaging formats suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
