Zoë F Pool PhD

I am an experienced, creative, integrative psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer with thirty years experience working with people to overcome a range of difficulties, distress and life challenges. Having been a UKCP registered psychotherapist (2000-2026), my professional psychotherapy registration  is now with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. as an Accredited Professional Registrant PNCPS (Acc.)

Other registrations I also hold are:

• General Hypnotherapy Register: Senior Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice
• General Hypnotherapy Register: Acknowledged Supervisor
• EMDR Europe Practitioner
• Laurel Parnell Institute: Attachment-Focused EMDR Therapist 

I am currently providing psychotherapy sessions online only.

I specialise in working with people who recognise their need to commit to their lives and well-being.  These individuals may need to overcome both big and small adverse experiences and the challenges of life. These might be acute and sudden and/or chronic and enduring. 

In addition to working in private practice, I was the Therapeutic Director, of Hurting To Healing (formerly Dorset Action on Abuse) for fourteen years between 2007-2021. Hurting to Healing was a specialist agency whose mission was to support the recovery of anyone over the age of 16 who needed support to recover from any form of childhood abuse and adverse childhood experiences. I managed, trained and supervised the Hurting to Healing team of counsellors. I am continuing my therapeutic work with clients presenting with complex, attachment-based trauma and dissociation. I also facilitate creative, expressive arts in therapy with individuals and groups.

I am dedicated to my work as a psychotherapist with people of all ages, and the requirements for continuing professional development merely underpins my own desire to learn more, to continually develop as a practitioner in the service of others and as a person.
