Yana Kambites, BACP

Yana Kambites uses Transactional Analysis as her starting point. She explains how people speak and respond to each other and the roles they adopt. This helps people notice patterns and choose different ways of reacting. Yana writes plainly and offers calm, steady support in sessions.

She has four years of clinical experience working with stress and anxiety. She also helps people with relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression and issues related to intimacy. Other areas she addresses include grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping difficulties, parenting concerns, career changes and ADHD-related coping.

Yana pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment themes that often shape how people relate now. She also works on codependency, communication problems, control issues and feelings of emptiness. Practical topics such as money worries, fertility concerns and life purpose conversations are included when relevant.

Sessions are led at the client’s pace, with an emphasis on being listened to without judgement. Conversations aim to increase awareness of habitual responses and then try out different choices. Yana supports people to set small, realistic goals and build skills that fit everyday life.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and Bulgarian. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Transactional Analysis helps people notice familiar ways of talking and reacting, and then choose different responses. Online conversations can be used to map those interaction patterns, name the roles someone plays and practice new ways of relating in real time. This approach can be helpful for relationship issues, communication problems and managing anger.

Work in sessions also addresses immediate coping skills for stress and anxiety and practical steps for sleep, parenting and life changes. These short, skill-based conversations aim to give tools that can be used between sessions, such as breathing or planning small behavioural changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which techniques fit best. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes while focusing on practical steps that help in daily life.
