About Yana
Yana Kambites is a counsellor who draws on Transactional Analysis to help people understand how they respond to others. She uses this approach to look at everyday communication and the roles people fall into. This can make it easier to choose different ways of responding when life feels difficult. Yana writes plainly and offers calm, steady support for people ready to make change.
Yana has four years' counselling experience working with a range of concerns. She helps people with stress and anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, anger and self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and parenting pressures. Her practice includes LGBT and ADHD-related concerns and other life transitions.
In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk things through at their own pace. Conversations focus on what feels important to the client and on small, practical ways to move forward. She encourages people to notice patterns in how they relate to others so they can make different choices.
Yana holds BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works from the United Kingdom and offers appointments in English and Bulgarian. The first steps usually involve a short intake to get a sense of needs and priorities before planning ongoing sessions.
People often come to explore why they react the way they do and to gain clearer options for change. Yana supports that process with steady listening and practical discussion of next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Transactional Analysis looks at how people speak and react to each other and the roles they take. Online sessions can use the same ideas to help notice patterns in communication, try different responses and rehearse new ways of relating. This approach is helpful for issues such as relationship strain, communication problems and managing anger.Alongside that, practical problem-focused conversation helps with sleep, stress and day-to-day mood. This involves breaking down upsetting or unhelpful routines and experimenting with small changes. It suits people who want clear steps to try between sessions as well as space to talk things through.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or stopped progress in the past. Together they agree what to focus on and adjust methods as things move forward.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Confirming this helps match the sessions to your schedule and needs. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work, childcare and travel, or prefer a shorter check-in when time is tight.
