Meet Zoe

Zoe, a counsellor at Polaris Counselling Hub offering counselling in Aberdeen.

Hi I’m Zoe

I work with people who are trying to make sense of themselves, a situation, their emotions or the patterns that keep showing up in their lives. Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, disconnected or like they are carrying things that others cannot always see. You might be looking for someone who gets how trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence, relationships and life experiences can all tangle together, and why it is not always as simple as “just moving on” or “trying harder.”

I also have over four years of experience working with late-diagnosed ADHD, autistic and AuDHD adults. I offer an inclusive, welcoming and non-judgemental space where you do not have to mask, minimise yourself or worry about being “too much.”

What We Can Work On Together:

  • Anxiety, Overwhelm, Stress, Burnout

  • Feeling stuck and/or lost in life

  • People-pleasing and putting others first

  • Friendship and relationship difficulties

  • Life transitions and identity shifts

  • Understanding your neurodivergence and how to work with it

  • Exploring who you are behind years of masking

  • RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria)

  • Emotional regulation

  • Having a safe space to talk freely, without worrying about being a burden or carrying everything on your own

Trauma Work:

I also support people living with trauma, including PTSD, CPTSD, flashbacks and nervous system dysregulation. Trauma can come from many different experiences, including medical procedures, hospital stays, pregnancy or birth trauma, emotional neglect, abuse, growing up unseen or unsupported, or years of masking and trying to fit into a world that did not understand you.

Sometimes trauma shows up as flashbacks, anxiety, shutdown, people-pleasing, disconnection, body memories or feeling like something is wrong with you, even when you cannot fully explain why. My work gives space to understand these experiences gently, at your pace, without forcing you to relive or explain everything all at once.

I also strive to hold an inclusive and welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ clients and am proud to be a member of Proud Wellness. I have supported many Trans clients and want you to know you’re welcome here.
