About Zivai
Zivai Mutokonyi is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, family matters, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem issues, career questions and depression. Zivai also supports clients with life changes and coaching-style work to clarify goals.
Her main approach is Client-Centred Therapy, which means conversations focus on the client's perspective and experience. Sessions are led by the client's priorities and Zivai listens to what matters most to them. She helps people talk through communication problems, immigration-related pressures, infidelity, questions of life purpose, and multicultural or discrimination stresses.
Zivai works in English and Shona and accepts international clients. She draws on thirteen years of practice to offer straightforward, practical conversation rather than jargon. Clients can expect direct discussion about patterns that feed anger or resentment and steps to try in daily life to reduce flare-ups and rebuild calmer responses.
She uses a collaborative style to set goals and try different ways of handling challenging moments. This can include rehearsing responses, noticing triggers, or exploring how past experiences shape current reactions. The emphasis is on clear, usable changes in how someone communicates and copes.

How Client-Centred Work Translates to Online Sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work. The approach involves open listening, reflecting back what the client says, and following their priorities. It helps with relationship friction, anger that shows up in close relationships, stress, and decisions about career or life direction.The collaborative part of therapy is important. The therapist and client will talk about which ways of working feel most helpful. Together they decide on goals, try different responses in sessions, and adjust the approach as needs and preferences become clearer.
Practical benefits of doing this work remotely depend on the session formats available. The biography does not specify formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also means the therapist can use conversation exercises and brief at-home tasks between meetings to build calmer responses to anger in everyday situations.
