Ms Zoe Laxton

Zoe Laxton is a registered Psychotherapist at Schoen Clinic Chelsea, where she offers in-person and online therapy sessions for adult clients. Her integrative and compassionate approach supports individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges and attachment-related issues.

Zoe draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic models to tailor each session to the individual needs of her clients. Her integrative practice includes elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment-based therapy and existential approaches. This flexibility enables her to support both short-term practical goals and deeper emotional exploration. Zoe often works with individuals who feel overwhelmed, ‘stuck’, or unsure of the root of their difficulties, and uses psychodynamic theory to help uncover unconscious patterns that may be influencing present-day struggles. She also integrates CBT and DBT tools to help clients manage anxiety, improve emotional regulation and develop healthier thought and behaviour patterns.

In her work with existential psychotherapy, Zoe supports clients in exploring identity, meaning and purpose, particularly during life transitions or periods of emotional distress. Her therapeutic style is collaborative, warm and non-judgemental, offering a safe space for clients to reflect, gain clarity and move towards greater self-understanding and emotional wellbeing.

Zoe is currently completing a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy. She welcomes both privately insured and self-funding patients to her practice at Schoen Clinic Chelsea, where she is available for appointments on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
