About Zivai
Zivai Mutokonyi offers a warm, client-centred approach to therapy. She uses listening and open conversation to help people work through relationship strain, anxiety and major life changes. Zivai makes space for honest discussion and practical next steps from the first session.
With 13 years of experience working in the United Kingdom, she has supported people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, depression and low self-esteem. She also helps with stress, anger, intimacy-related issues and career concerns.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with people facing immigration challenges and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs. Zivai focuses on communication problems, infidelity, life purpose and building self-love.
She aims to make conversations clear and constructive so clients leave with manageable steps to try between sessions. She works in English and Shona and can support people internationally. Zivai describes therapy as a collaborative process and invites people to bring their real concerns into the room.
She encourages practical coaching when helpful and emotional processing when it’s needed. To begin, Zivai asks about what matters most to the individual and what they want to change. From there she shapes the work around those goals.
Her style is straightforward, compassionate and focused on helping people regain confidence and move forward.

Online support
In practice, Zivai adapts the Client-Centred approach to each person’s needs. She will work collaboratively to identify priorities and choose the pace and focus of sessions. Together they decide whether to work on emotional processing, practical coaching or communication skills depending on the client’s goals.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make work fit day-to-day life. Video is good for longer discussions and visual connection. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging support quick reflections, notes between meetings and flexible scheduling. These options aim to make therapy easier to attend while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
