About Zahava
Zahava Smith helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and trauma. She also supports people facing parenting pressures, self-esteem struggles, anger, career uncertainty and major life changes. Zahava works with a wide range of emotional and practical concerns so conversations stay focused on what matters to each person.
Her style is warm and respectful. She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience first. Sessions move at a pace set by the client and Zahava adapts the conversation to their needs.
Background and approach
She aims to create an atmosphere where people can speak honestly and think through what they want to change. In practice this means listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers. Zahava will gently challenge unhelpful thinking and offer practical ways to cope with day-to-day stress.
The work can include talking about difficult past events, managing low mood, or building clearer communication skills. Zahava has six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is a professional body in the United Kingdom. Her background gives experience with grief, abuse, family problems and relationship breakdowns, among other issues.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to people outside the UK. Zahava uses different formats, from video calls to phone, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can pick what suits their routine. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

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
The therapist will work with the client to choose the right way forward. That might mean focused practical steps, exploring past events or building better communication skills. Deciding which approach to use is a joint process based on the client's needs, goals and preferences.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions work well when a quieter or less data-heavy option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, people who prefer writing, or those who want more frequent but brief contact. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these formats so people can pick what fits their routine and comfort.
