About Kashina
Kashina Smith is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and parenting challenges. She draws on three years of practical experience to support people working on self-esteem, motivation and recovery from trauma and abuse. She begins by listening to each person’s story and recognising their strengths.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Kashina aims to create a calm space where clients can name what feels hard and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Common topics she covers include communication problems, fertility and pregnancy concerns, guilt and shame, infidelity, and sexual assault and abuse. She offers straightforward tools to reduce worry and build confidence, and she helps people consider choices that feel right for them. Her style is collaborative and encouraging.
Kashina invites clients to set goals and review progress together. Small practical changes are used alongside reflection to help people feel steadier between sessions. People choosing her work can expect sessions that mix talking, practical skill-building and emotional support.
She describes clients as the experts in their lives and works to amplify each person’s abilities. The overall aim is to increase coping, clarity and a greater sense of self-worth.
What Kashina works with
Everything Kashina lists, in their own terms. Parenting is the reason this directory exists; the rest shows what else Kashina helps people with.
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support
Two evidence-based techniques commonly used in brief therapy are practical skill-building and trauma-informed talking work. Practical skill-building focuses on developing clear strategies to reduce worry and improve daily routines, which can help with stress, anxiety and parenting demands. Trauma-informed talking work gives space to make sense of painful events while pacing conversations to avoid overwhelm and support emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss what matters most to the client, including goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
