About Kashina

Kashina Smith focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and self-esteem. She works with people to talk through problems, identify strengths and try practical steps to feel more able in day-to-day life. Kashina is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of professional experience.

She uses straightforward conversations to help people notice patterns in thinking and behaviour. Sessions often involve looking at what currently causes distress and testing small changes to see what helps. Kashina encourages clients to draw on their own strengths when making those changes.

Her work also covers communication problems, fertility-related stress, guilt and shame, infidelity, pregnancy and childbirth matters, self-love and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. She supports people who want clearer boundaries, steadier self-esteem or better ways to manage worry and stress.

Kashina believes the client is the expert on their own life and aims to offer practical support that fits each person’s situation. She explains options and helps set short-term goals that are realistic and measurable. The focus is on what a person can do between sessions to build confidence.

People who choose to work with her can expect calm, plain discussion and step-by-step planning. Sessions are intended to be collaborative, with regular review of progress and adjustments to the approach as needed.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques involve looking at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and testing small changes in everyday life. One common approach used in such work helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative ways of thinking and acting to reduce worry and improve mood. This can be useful for anxiety, stress and self-esteem issues.

Another helpful method focuses on processing experiences of trauma and abuse by giving time to tell the story, build a sense of safety in sessions and practise coping strategies for strong emotions. This approach can assist people affected by past hurt, sexual assault or traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which techniques suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and remove travel time. They can also let someone choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals generally use online work to increase convenience while keeping the focus on practical, goal-based progress.
