About Yana
Counsellor Yana Kambites is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works with a wide range of difficulties named in her profile, including stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, depression, grief and trauma. Sessions are offered in English and Bulgarian for people based in the United Kingdom.
Yana trained in Transactional Analysis, a way of looking at how people speak and respond to one another and the roles they fall into. She uses this framework to help clients notice patterns of behaviour and to make different choices in day-to-day life. In practical terms that can mean identifying unhelpful responses and trying new ways of reacting in the here and now.
Her work covers issues linked to attachment, abandonment and family of origin, as well as communication and control problems. She also addresses fertility-related concerns, intimacy issues, shame and guilt, and loneliness. The profile lists a broad set of topics such as parenting, career matters, money worries, and coping with life changes.
Yana aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Conversations focus on understanding current reactions and on small, workable changes clients wish to try. Sessions move at the client's pace and address what the client wants to change next.
Practical support may include looking at how past roles influence present choices, practising different ways of speaking in relationships, and noticing patterns that keep problems repeating. The emphasis is on clear steps a person can take between sessions to test things out and learn from them.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Yana uses Transactional Analysis as a central way of working. This approach looks at the roles people take in conversations and how those roles shape responses. It helps when someone wants to understand why they react in certain ways and to try different responses in everyday situations.The profile also emphasises practical, step-by-step work. That can involve noticing repeated patterns from family of origin or attachment history and testing small changes between sessions. These kinds of techniques suit people dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem, anxiety or issues linked to past hurt.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Yana will discuss what feels helpful and will work with the client to find what fits their needs and goals. The process is collaborative and guided by what the client wants to change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, cut out travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to offer a practical path to regular sessions without asking for additional travel.
