Yana Kambites

Yana Kambites works from a Transactional Analysis approach, helping people notice the roles they play in relationships and how they respond to others. She uses this way of looking at interactions to help clients make different choices in the moment. Yana aims to create a calm, welcoming space where people can talk about what is troubling them.

She has four years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. Her work also covers relationship problems, anger, self-esteem and confidence. She invites clients to describe what they are feeling and to try practical steps that can be used outside the session.

Yana also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, and those dealing with intimacy and sleeping difficulties. She pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and codependency, and how these shape current behaviour and emotions.

People bring many life challenges, and Yana addresses parenting worries, career decisions, money and financial issues, and coping with life changes. She is familiar with issues related to fertility, abandonment and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Sessions are offered in English and Bulgarian. Yana is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom. She encourages clients to move at a pace that feels manageable and to set achievable goals for change.

How Transactional Analysis can shape online therapy

Transactional Analysis looks at the ways people talk to one another and the roles they adopt in interactions. In practice this means noticing patterns - for example habitual responses that fuel anger or shut down communication - and trying out different responses in the moment. This approach can help with relationship problems, anger management and recurring behaviour that creates stress.

Another helpful technique often used alongside this is straightforward problem-focused work. That involves setting small, practical goals and trying new ways of responding between sessions to see what changes. It is useful for sleep problems, coping with life changes, and daily stressors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about what feels most relevant, explain options in plain terms, and adapt methods to the client's needs and preferences as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins possible or allow sessions when getting to a clinic would be difficult. The exact session formats offered should be confirmed before booking, so readers should check current options when they select a time.
