Kashina Smith, BACP

Kashina Smith is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns. She also works with issues such as communication problems, fertility concerns, guilt and shame, infidelity, pregnancy and childbirth, self-love, and sexual assault and abuse. Kashina believes that clients are the experts of their own stories and that existing strengths can be used to face and overcome life’s challenges. She frames the work as a collaborative process that honours individual resilience and personal goals.

Kashina describes therapy as a brave step toward a more fulfilling and happier life, and she aims to provide practical support and encouragement throughout that journey. She holds the BACP credential, which means she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and follows professional standards in her practice. Her approach centers on empowering clients, building confidence and motivation, and helping people find clearer ways to cope and communicate within relationships and daily life.

Whether someone is dealing with acute stressors or longer standing patterns, Kashina offers a steady, empathetic presence to help clients explore change and develop sustainable coping strategies.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Support

Kashina works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding thoughts and emotions and on addressing the impacts of trauma. Cognitive-oriented strategies help people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety and low mood, offering practical tools for managing stress and building self-esteem. Trauma-informed approaches prioritize pacing and safety while helping clients process past harms and reduce their ongoing effects on relationships and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kashina works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She supports clients in exploring different strategies and adapts the work based on feedback and progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit conversations into busy lives through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without geographic barriers, allowing clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels.
