About Zahava
Zahava Smith is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and people facing parenting, career or self-esteem challenges. Her approach is calm and respectful, and she focuses on listening carefully to each person's needs.
Zahava uses a client-centred style that keeps the person at the heart of the work. Sessions move at the client’s pace and are shaped around what matters most to them.
Background and approach
She aims to create a space where people can talk honestly and begin to make small, practical changes. With six years of professional experience, Zahava has worked with a wide range of concerns, from anger and depression to body image and caregiver stress.
She pays attention to the everyday pressures that build up over time and helps people find clearer ways to cope. She also supports those struggling with codependency, communication problems and feelings of isolation. Zahava is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. Many clients come wanting help to manage life changes, process loss, or repair trust after infidelity or separation.
Zahava focuses on steady progress and practical next steps. She encourages realistic goals and helps people notice small improvements over time.
How client-centred therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on treating people with respect and listening closely. The therapist offers empathy and reflects back what is said so clients can better understand their feelings. This approach helps with anxiety, stress, relationship problems and low self-esteem by encouraging people to lead the conversation and set the pace.Zahava will work collaboratively to find the approach that fits best. Together they will discuss goals, try different ways of talking and adjust the plan as needed. The process is led by the client’s needs, and the therapist supports decisions about what to try next.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and body language while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family life and different time zones, and they give flexibility to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
