About Zhamilya

Zhamilya Stamkulova is a PACFA credentialed therapist based in Australia. She brings six years of clinical experience and a calm, practical approach to sessions. She treats anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties as signals rather than just problems to be fixed. Early conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps can help in day-to-day life.

Zhamilya uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify what matters and take values-driven steps. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Attachment-informed work looks at how past relationship patterns influence present reactions.

People often come for help with stress, low self-esteem, grief, or big life changes such as career moves and separation. Zhamilya also supports those facing immigration challenges, multicultural concerns and issues related to sexuality. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change.

The therapist helps clients identify unhelpful habits and experiment with new ways of responding. Work can include talking, practical exercises and reflecting on early relationship patterns that keep repeating. The emphasis is on steady progress and learning skills that can be used after therapy finishes.

This approach is suitable for people looking for a thoughtful, collaborative counsellor who combines short-term strategies with deeper work on attachment and life patterns. Sessions are conducted in English and arranged within the therapist’s Australian practice.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values, useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current reactions, which can help with relationship difficulties and repeated emotional themes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods might help. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as therapy proceeds to fit the client’s needs.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work from a quieter location, or choose a session style that suits their routine. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt ACT, CBT and attachment work to a remote setting while focusing on practical tools and steady progress.
