About Zahava
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 6 years of professional experience, Zahava Smith helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and bereavement. She also works with issues such as parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career change, depression and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Zahava uses a client-centred approach. That means sessions are shaped around the person who comes to therapy. The client sets the pace and the topics. The counsellor listens, reflects and offers questions to help people make sense of what they are feeling.
In practice Zahava focuses on clear, practical conversation. She helps people talk through painful events, manage overwhelming emotions and sort out relationship and family problems. She also works on worries about body image, codependency and communication problems. Work may include exploring past hurt, identifying patterns and trying different ways of responding in daily life.
People meet Zahava to process loss, heal from abuse, navigate separation or address chronic stress. Sessions can also look at feelings of guilt, shame, emptiness or isolation. She aims to help people notice what matters to them and to practise small changes between sessions.
Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. The first session is practical: a short assessment, a chance to outline goals and to agree how future sessions will run.

How Client-Centred work translates to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and following the client’s lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the client says, checks understanding and asks questions that help the person clarify feelings and goals. This approach suits people who want to set the pace and decide which topics to focus on.That same client-led style can work well across different settings. The counsellor and client will review what feels most helpful together and adjust the way they work as needed. Deciding which methods to try is a collaborative process based on the person’s needs, preferences and goals.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or making it possible to join from a different location. Registered or accredited professionals often vary how they run sessions, so the first meeting will cover practical arrangements and how best to move forward.
