About Kashina

Kashina Smith is a counsellor who draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people facing stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings three years of professional experience to her practice. Kashina speaks English and practices from the United Kingdom.

She focuses on helping people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and parenting challenges. She also addresses communication problems, fertility-related worries, guilt and shame, and issues linked to pregnancy, childbirth and infidelity. Sessions aim to make space for the client’s story and strengths.

Kashina uses a collaborative style that places the client at the centre of the process. She believes people know their lives best and works to support their choices rather than impose solutions. Practical steps and gentle reflection are used to build confidence and capacity over time.

Clients can expect a down-to-earth approach that balances listening with clear, workable suggestions. Kashina emphasises small, achievable changes alongside longer-term goals. The aim is to help people feel more able to cope, communicate and make decisions that suit their lives.

To begin, a simple matching process is used to pair people with a suitable schedule. The therapist supports people through the early stages of booking and planning so sessions can fit into everyday life.

How evidence-based techniques work in online therapy

Many of the approaches Kashina uses draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach concentrates on processing difficult experiences and building safer ways of relating to memories and feelings, which can help after trauma and abuse.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and make decisions together based on goals, preferences and what feels workable. This collaborative process means plans can be adjusted over time if something is not helping.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats offered before booking. The practical benefits include fitting sessions around work and family life, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is needed, or avoid being on camera if that helps someone focus. Confirm the exact session options with the therapist when you start so arrangements suit your routine and needs.
