About Yana
Yana Kambites is a BACP registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and parenting pressures. She also supports those facing grief, trauma, intimacy-related issues and life changes.
Yana trained in Transactional Analysis, which looks at how people speak and respond to each other and the roles they adopt. She uses this approach to help people notice their patterns and make different choices in the moment. That practical focus aims to clarify why certain reactions happen and how to try alternatives.
Sessions are conversational and straightforward. Yana listens to how clients describe their concerns and helps them name recurring patterns such as control issues, attachment difficulties or codependency. She works at a pace chosen by the client and focuses on small changes that can reduce recurring upset.
She also addresses issues linked to family of origin, fertility worries, money stress and career decisions. Yana can help with feelings of emptiness, jealousy, isolation and problems with communication. These are discussed plainly so people can decide what to work on first.
Yana offers support for adults who identify as LGBT and for people managing ADHD-related challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and Bulgarian. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Transactional Analysis examines how people communicate and the roles they take in interactions. Online sessions can use this approach to spot repeated patterns in conversations and try alternative responses in real time. It helps with relationship tensions, communication problems and anger that shows up around others.Secondly, practical problem-focused work looks at specific behaviours and small changes. This is useful for stress, sleep difficulties, impulsivity and daily parenting pressures. The therapist and client identify one or two manageable steps and review how they worked between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree what feels most relevant to their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when days are tight. They also allow people to continue regular work on communication and coping strategies from home while balancing family and work life.
