Chava Stone, BACP

Chava Stone offers a practical, person-focused approach to therapy rooted in evidence-based techniques. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and life transitions. Chava writes plans with each person she meets and adapts conversations to fit their needs. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.

With seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Chava has focused on helping people recover from post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related difficulties. She also supports those facing abandonment and attachment issues, and people coping with divorce, separation or major life changes. Common themes in her work include body image, social anxiety, guilt and shame, and finding purpose.

Chava tailors therapy to the individual rather than following a single fixed method. Sessions focus on clear goals, gentle pacing, and practical tools that can be tried between meetings. She emphasises sensitive listening and respectful dialogue while helping people build skills for managing difficult feelings.

She works in English and Yiddish and accepts international clients. Chava describes the therapeutic relationship as collaborative and hopeful, aiming to help people regain a sense of direction and greater emotional steadiness.

If you are considering therapy she asks that you begin by sharing what feels most urgent. That information helps shape the initial plan and the first few sessions.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Chava uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily coping. One approach focuses on grounding and body awareness to help people manage strong emotions and post-traumatic stress reactions; this involves simple practices to notice bodily signals and regulate arousal. Another strand emphasises skill-building for anxiety and low mood, teaching clear strategies for managing worry, building activity, and improving self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits best based on goals, preferences and how someone responds in early sessions. This collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available formats before booking as current session options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow people to access support when local services are limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work to help maintain momentum between appointments.
