Background and approach

Kashina believes people know their own stories best and brings a respectful, practical stance to sessions. Conversations are aimed at identifying strengths and small, achievable steps forward. In sessions she helps clients talk through worries, improve communication, and rebuild a sense of self-worth after difficult events.

She works at a pace chosen by the client and focuses on what is useful right now. Practical tools and gentle reflection are used to tackle day-to-day stress and anxious thinking. Kashina supports people dealing with sexual assault and abuse issues with sensitivity and patience.

She also assists parents who are struggling with the emotional load of raising children, helping them find steadier ways to cope and to reconnect with their own needs. Her approach is collaborative and strengths-based. Clients can expect clear conversation, goal-focused planning, and encouragement to try new coping strategies between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Kashina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a straightforward way. One approach helps people notice and change anxious thoughts by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps and practising new responses. This can be useful for generalised worry, panic-prone thinking, and everyday stress.

Another approach focuses on strengthening self-worth and confidence. Sessions look at unhelpful self-talk, build practical routines for self-care, and practice new ways of communicating with others. This is helpful for people coping with low self-esteem or the aftermath of relationship strain and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kashina will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they choose methods that fit the client’s needs and adapt them as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and environment allow. Phone sessions can be a good option when a shorter check-in is needed or when camera use is not wanted. Chat and text formats work well for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking.
