About Zahava
Zahava Smith helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and other painful life changes. She works with concerns such as parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career questions and depression. Zahava aims to support people who feel stuck and want practical steps to feel better.
Her approach centres on listening and tailoring conversations to each person. Zahava uses Client-Centred Therapy, so the person leads the pace and direction of sessions while she offers careful, non-judgemental listening.
Background and approach
She focuses on understanding each person’s experience before suggesting ways to move forward. Zahava has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background informs a calm, respectful style in the room.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Zahava helps people name what is most difficult, notice patterns, and try small changes that could ease day-to-day strain. She supports people through grief, relationship hurt, family conflict and recovery from abuse in clear, manageable steps.
People working with Zahava can expect steady pacing and encouragement to make choices that fit their lives. She emphasises practical coping skills alongside exploring emotional experience, helping people move toward greater ease and self-understanding.

How Zahava works online
Because the work is collaborative, Zahava will help you find the right way of working together. She will discuss what matters to you, try different ways of approaching issues, and adjust the sessions as needed so they make sense for your goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit talks into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep to a regular schedule while balancing work and family life. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and structure of sessions to suit a person’s day-to-day routine and needs, helping therapy feel practical and manageable.
