Chava Stone

Chava Stone is a counsellor who practises evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and the challenges of life changes. Chava uses a respectful, sensitive approach to help clients talk through difficult feelings and find ways to cope day to day.

She has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. Chava personalises conversations and treatment plans to match each person’s needs. Sessions focus on helping people notice patterns, build skills for managing strong emotions, and practise new ways of relating to themselves.

Chava has applied trauma-focused methods in her work and supports people who are processing post-traumatic stress, abandonment and attachment issues, and guilt or shame. She also helps with relationship communication problems, divorce and separation, and the emotional effects of pregnancy and childbirth.

People seeking clearer life direction can bring concerns such as life purpose, midlife crisis, isolation and loneliness, or difficulties with body image and self-love. Chava aims to help clients rebuild confidence, improve social anxiety and reduce avoidance through manageable steps.

Sessions are offered in English and Yiddish, and international clients are accepted. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Chava practises evidence-based techniques that focus on present-day coping and processing past distress. One useful strand involves trauma-focused work that helps people notice bodily responses and learn ways to regulate overwhelming reactions. This is often used for post-traumatic stress, abuse recovery and deep-seated feelings like guilt or shame.

Another common element is skill-building for anxiety and low mood. These methods break problems into small steps, teach practical ways to reduce worry, and encourage experiments in day-to-day life to build confidence and reduce avoidance. They suit worries such as social anxiety, panic, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different ways of working and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on what the therapist offers.
