Yana KambitesBACP

Yana Kambites is a counsellor who draws on Transactional Analysis to help people understand how they relate to others. She uses this approach to look at the roles people take and the patterns that shape reactions in everyday life. Yana's manner is calm and direct, aimed at helping clients take practical steps toward change.

She has four years of clinical experience working with stress and anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy issues, and anger. Yana also supports people dealing with grief, fertility and parenting stresses, work and career worries, and challenges linked to attention differences. Her practice includes concerns such as abandonment, attachment and family of origin issues, codependency, and shame or guilt.

Sessions focus on creating an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. Yana helps clients notice interaction patterns and then try alternative responses in the here and now. Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s comfort level.

She also works with issues around self-esteem, impulsivity, jealousy, isolation, and money and life-purpose questions. Yana aims to empower people to make clear choices and to build new ways of responding to stressful situations.

Yana is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers sessions in English and Bulgarian and practises from the United Kingdom. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Transactional Analysis looks at the ways people communicate and the roles they play in relationships. Online sessions using this approach help clients notice unhelpful interaction patterns and try different responses in the moment. This can be useful for anxieties, relationship strains and difficulties with boundaries.

Talking through coping skills and practical strategies is another core element. That work focuses on everyday changes such as managing stress, improving sleep routines, and handling anger or impulsivity. It suits people who want clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor the way sessions are run. This is a collaborative process that adjusts as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy routine easier and reduce travel time. It can also make short, focused check-ins simpler to arrange around work, appointments or childcare without promising a specific format.
