About Zoe Cliffe
Zoe Cliffe is a person-centred therapist who draws on the humanistic ideas of Carl Rogers to guide her work. She offers an empathetic, nonjudgmental therapeutic space where individuals can explore thoughts, feelings, and life experiences at a pace that feels right for them. Zoe holds the BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings six years of clinical experience to her practice.
Zoe’s approach emphasises the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions are led by what the person brings in, with the therapist providing attentive listening, compassionate understanding, and gentle reflection. When appropriate, she supplements this reflective work with practical coping tools such as grounding exercises, breathwork, thought defusion, and visualisation techniques to support daily coping between meetings.
The focus of her practice includes stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, parenting concerns, career and coaching matters, and compassion fatigue. Zoe also attends to related areas such as attachment challenges, loneliness, life purpose, and women's issues. Her aim is to foster greater self-awareness, build resilience, and help people reconnect with their values so they can move forward in ways that feel authentic to them.
Zoe frames therapy as a collaborative, warm partnership that honours each person’s individuality and capacity for change.

Person-Centred Care and Online Therapeutic Support
Zoe primarily works from a client-centred perspective, focusing on creating empathic understanding and acceptance so individuals can explore their feelings and choices. This way of working helps people who are dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, or questions about identity to feel heard and better able to make sense of their experiences.
Alongside this core approach, Zoe integrates practical, skills-based strategies when helpful. Techniques such as grounding exercises, breathwork, thought defusion, and guided visualisation are offered to support emotional regulation and coping between sessions, which can be useful for managing stress, overwhelm, or moments of heightened anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is explored collaboratively. Zoe works with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the balance between reflective work and practical techniques as the relationship develops.
Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or messaging increases flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to connect from home or while balancing work and family commitments. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each individual while working with registered professionals and therapists.
