Zoe Laxton

Zoe Laxton is a registered Psychotherapist at Schoen Clinic Chelsea, offering thoughtful, integrative therapy for adult individuals seeking meaningful change.

With a compassionate and tailored approach, Zoe supports clients facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, and attachment-related difficulties.

Currently completing her Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy, Zoe draws on a variety of evidence-based therapies to meet each client’s individual needs. Her integrative style includes elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Existential Psychotherapy—ensuring flexibility and depth in her work.

Zoe frequently works with clients who feel ‘stuck’ or uncertain about why they are struggling. Her use of psychodynamic theory helps explore unconscious patterns shaped by early life experiences, especially in those who have experienced childhood trauma or have difficulties in relationships. She also uses CBT and DBT to equip clients with practical tools to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns.

Through existential therapy, Zoe helps individuals reflect on identity, purpose, and their place in the world, particularly when navigating periods of transition or emotional overwhelm.

Zoe’s therapeutic style is collaborative, warm, and non-judgmental. She provides a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their experiences, understand themselves more deeply, and move toward a more empowered and fulfilling life.

Zoe warmly welcomes privately insured and self-funding patients to her Schoen Clinic Chelsea practice.
