Zoe Hewlett

Zoe Hewlett is a counsellor who supports people with eating and food-related issues alongside stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She works with people who are coping with grief, trauma, low self-esteem and challenges around intimacy and life direction. Zoe uses straightforward, practical work to help people manage day-to-day life and move towards their goals.

She draws on client-centred ways of working to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Cognitive behavioural approaches are used when helpful to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to try out different ways of responding. Existential ideas are brought in to help people make sense of big life questions and values when they feel stuck.

Zoe is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Her practice is informed by five years of direct counselling experience. She has worked in a range of settings and with people from diverse backgrounds.

In sessions she aims to build practical coping skills and resilience. Work can include setting small, achievable goals and drawing up simple action plans. Discussions focus on what is most pressing for the person in front of her and on steps they can try between sessions.

She currently works mainly in the evenings and at weekends, with occasional daytime appointments by request. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Zoe's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy means the focus is on the person's own experience and priorities, with the therapist offering attentive listening and gentle reflection to help people find their own solutions. This is useful for emotional support and exploring what matters most to someone.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to try out new responses. It can be helpful for anxiety, eating-related patterns and low mood where changing habits and thinking styles makes a difference.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about what they want to change and try different methods to see what fits. Choice of approach can change over time as needs and goals evolve.

Many people find online work easier to fit into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time or allowing sessions outside standard office hours. Because this therapist mainly offers evenings and weekends, online options can help match sessions to those times. Confirm the current session formats before booking to ensure they meet practical needs.
