Approach-focused online therapy with Zoe Smith



Zoe uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and interpersonal connections - this approach can be helpful for people struggling with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, or relationship difficulties. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on empathetic listening and supporting clients to find their own solutions by fostering a nonjudgmental, accepting therapeutic relationship. In addition, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past traumatic experiences are central to a person's distress, offering structured ways to process difficult memories and their effects.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Zoe works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust the approach over time.

Online sessions can be offered via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access therapy from home or other comfortable settings and allow therapists and clients to focus on practical, goal-oriented work in a way that suits the individual's circumstances.
