Kashina Smith, BACP

Kashina Smith is a United Kingdom-credentialed therapist with three years of professional experience and accreditation from the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as communication problems, fertility issues, guilt and shame, infidelity, pregnancy and childbirth, self-love, and sexual assault and abuse.

Kashina approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that innate strengths can be mobilised to meet life’s challenges. She emphasises collaboration, helping clients identify their goals and build practical strategies to move toward a more fulfilling life. Seeking help is framed as a courageous first step, and Kashina aims to support and empower clients throughout that process.

Her background and focus make her well suited to people looking for a compassionate, strengths-based approach to overcoming anxiety, repairing relationships, processing traumatic experiences, improving parenting confidence, and cultivating greater self-worth. Kashina provides tailored support designed to meet each client where they are and guide them toward meaningful change.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Kashina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skill-building with sensitive exploration of personal history. One strand of her work focuses on skills-based strategies that help clients manage stress and anxiety through step-by-step tools for emotion regulation, problem solving, and communication - useful for daily coping and relationship challenges. Another strand emphasises trauma-informed exploration that allows clients to process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable, supporting recovery from abuse, assault, and other painful events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kashina works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques over time, adjusting focus as clients make progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent support from a registered professional without needing to travel, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and engage with therapy in a way that suits their life.
