Kashina Smith
Calm, evidence-based counselling for stress and relationships
About Kashina
Kashina Smith works from an evidence-based approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She is a BACP counsellor with three years of practice in the United Kingdom. Kashina offers a calm, straightforward presence for those seeking steady support.
She helps people who have experienced trauma and abuse to make sense of what happened and to find ways to feel safer in day-to-day life. Parenting and self-esteem are regular themes in her work, and she supports people who are coping with fertility issues, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, or the aftermath of sexual assault.
Background and approach
Kashina often focuses on practical communication skills for people facing relationship strain, including problems linked to infidelity. She also helps people address guilt, shame and low confidence so they can rebuild a sense of self-worth. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Her approach treats clients as the experts on their own lives while offering strategies and reflection to move forward. Conversations will include building small, manageable steps that fit into daily life. The goal is clearer thinking and better coping over time.
Work is offered in English and is tailored around what each person brings to the room. Kashina invites people to take the first step when they are ready and offers practical support while they work towards change.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical steps and clear ways to change difficult patterns. For example, approaches that address anxiety often combine short-term strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings with exercises that build coping skills over time. These methods help with stress, panic and persistent worry by teaching tools you can use in daily life.Another common approach for trauma and relationship concerns centres on processing upsetting experiences at a pace that feels manageable. This involves talking through difficult memories, learning how trauma affects thoughts and behaviour, and practising skills to improve communication and emotional regulation. It can help with trust, self-worth and resolving relationship harms.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which techniques make most sense given their goals, history and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions work well for people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work and family schedules and to continue therapy from different locations.
