About Zhamilya
Zhamilya Stamkulova is a PACFA counsellor practising in Australia with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem and life transitions. She also works with grief, depression, career questions and LGBT concerns.
Zhamilya sees symptoms as signals rather than just problems to fix. In sessions she helps people notice how their thoughts and habits influence feelings. She then works with them to try new ways of responding that reduce distress and increase choice.
Her approach combines practical techniques and deeper exploration. That means using strategies from cognitive behavioural work alongside attention to attachment patterns. Conversations look at current coping skills and the earlier relationships that shaped them.
People can expect straightforward conversations about what is getting in the way day to day. Zhamilya pays attention to communication problems, commitment worries, abandonment and family of origin issues. She also addresses life concerns such as immigration, money and career direction.
Sessions often include exercises to try between meetings and check-ins about what changed. The work aims to help someone manage immediate stress while also attending to longer term patterns. Zhamilya supports people from different cultural backgrounds and those facing isolation or adjustment after major life events.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking actions that matter. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by clarifying what someone wants to prioritise and building small steps toward those goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps when communication problems, abandonment worries or commitment issues keep appearing in adult relationships. Finding the right blend of techniques is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide whether ACT, attachment work or client-centred conversations best fit a person’s goals and current difficulties. That plan can change as the work unfolds. Confirm the available online session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They also let clients continue therapy while managing work, study or relocation, provided those practical details suit the session style chosen.Areas of focus
