About Yana

Yana Kambites works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and related concerns using Transactional Analysis to look at how people speak and respond to others. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in practice.

Yana trained in Transactional Analysis, a method that examines the roles people take in interactions and the ways they react under pressure. She uses this to help clients notice patterns of behaviour and to make different choices in the moment. Sessions focus on simple observations about communication and on practical steps to change unhelpful responses.

Her work includes supporting people with anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief and intimacy-related issues. Yana also addresses concerns linked to family of origin, attachment and codependency, plus challenges around fertility, money and career. She lists ADHD, LGBT issues and trauma and abuse among her areas of focus.

In sessions she listens to the person's account and helps them name what is happening. Conversations are paced to the individual and aim to reduce over-reactive responses and improve communication. She encourages clients to test small changes between sessions and to notice the effects.

Yana speaks English and Bulgarian and practises in the United Kingdom. She offers work that emphasises clearer ways of relating, better decision-making in interactions, and practical steps people can use day to day.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Transactional Analysis examines how people interact and the roles they take during exchanges. Online work with this approach helps clients spot habitual patterns of communication and try alternative responses in everyday situations. It is useful for relationship problems, anger and issues with self-confidence.

She also draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on moment-to-moment behaviour and practical changes. These techniques encourage noticing triggers, planning small experiments between sessions and reviewing what changed, which can suit people working on stress, grief or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a way of working based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. If you need to manage quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins these factors can be discussed when arranging sessions. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking.
