About Zahava
Counsellor Zahava Smith is a BACP member with six years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, bereavement and changes such as separation or career shifts. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Zahava uses a client-centred approach. She lets the person lead the pace and focuses on their concerns in the here and now. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most and to find practical ways to cope with feelings and decisions.
Her work covers common life pressures such as parenting strain, caregiving stress, low self-esteem and body image issues. She also helps with anger, guilt, shame, isolation and relationship problems including infidelity and communication breakdowns.
Zahava describes a respectful and sensitive style. That means listening without telling people what to do and adjusting the sessions to the person’s needs. The goal is to help people think through next steps and manage day-to-day challenges more easily.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site button for online counselling options.
Client-centred work and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a set procedure. The therapist listens without directing the conversation and follows what the person brings. This approach is often used for issues like low self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.Exploring what helps you most is part of the process. Zahava will work collaboratively to find an approach that fits your needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying different ways of working during early sessions and checking in about what feels useful.
The profile does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings and avoid being on camera if that helps them participate more comfortably.
