About Yana
Yana Kambites is a counsellor who draws on Transactional Analysis to help people notice how they relate to others and make different choices. She uses this way of working to unpack common problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Yana aims to create a calm space where people feel able to talk and be heard.
She has four years of clinical experience and works with a wide range of concerns.
Background and approach
These include anger, depression, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues, as well as ADHD and parenting strains. Yana also supports people facing LGBT-related challenges and family of origin difficulties. In sessions she helps people recognise patterns such as codependency, attachment and control issues.
She also addresses feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame, and practical worries like money and career choices. Sessions look at how past experiences influence present responses and what choices someone might make now. Yana uses straightforward conversations to build insight and plan small, achievable steps.
She encourages clients to set goals at a pace that feels manageable. Her approach focuses on helping people feel more able to cope with life changes and move towards clearer purpose. Sessions are offered in English and Bulgarian for people in the United Kingdom.
Yana is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Transactional Analysis looks at how people speak and respond to one another and the roles they take in relationships. It helps identify recurring patterns and offers clear choices about how to respond differently in daily life. This can be useful for relationship problems, communication issues and patterns of reactivity.In addition, Yana often focuses on practical, step-by-step work to build confidence and reduce stress. That usually means breaking larger problems into manageable tasks and checking progress between sessions. This approach helps with issues such as anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide which way of working fits best with their goals and preferences. Together they will review what feels useful and adjust the focus as needed.

It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a familiar location or want shorter, more frequent touchpoints to support change.
