About Zahava
Zahava Smith is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and depression. She uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help people make sense of painful experiences and find ways forward. Zahava aims to move at each person's pace and tailors sessions to individual needs.
With six years of professional experience, Zahava works with people facing bereavement, trauma and abuse as well as parenting stress and career pressures.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Her practice attends to related concerns such as body image, codependency and isolation. Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which means she focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's lead.
Sessions centre on what matters most to the person in the room, rather than a fixed script. This makes room for honest reflection and gradual change. Zahava describes her role as a supportive companion who encourages clients to discover their own answers.
She offers practical steps alongside emotional support, helping people try different ways of coping when needed. The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person's readiness. People can expect a calm, sensitive tone and clear conversation about goals and next steps.
Zahava holds attention to difficult topics while also focusing on small, achievable progress. Her BACP credential is held as stated and forms part of her professional background.

Approaches Zahava lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Zahava brings a person-focused stance to online work by offering space for honest talk and by gently encouraging reflection. The therapist helps clients set goals, try small coping steps and review what is helpful. Deciding which approach fits best is a shared process based on the client's needs, goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face discussion and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, written reflection or days when a session needs to be shorter. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
