About Yana
Yana Kambites is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Bulgarian and are based in the United Kingdom.
Yana trained in Transactional Analysis, which looks at how people speak and respond to one another and the roles they fall into. She uses that framework to help clients notice habitual reactions and consider different choices in the moment. The focus is on practical awareness of patterns that fuel anger, anxiety or repeated conflicts.
Her approach is direct and conversational. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them map out small, achievable changes. Conversations cover how thoughts, feelings and behaviour link together, and how to practise alternative responses between sessions.
Yana also works with issues that commonly sit alongside anger, such as grief, trauma and problems with intimacy or trust. She pays attention to attachment, communication problems and boundaries so clients can understand where strong reactions come from. Work may include looking at past family dynamics and current triggers.
Sessions use a collaborative style where goals are agreed and progress reviewed. The first steps usually involve clarifying what matters most, identifying typical reactions, and planning simple experiments to try in daily life. Practical skills and reflection are balanced to help people feel more in control of their responses.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Transactional Analysis is a practical way of looking at how people talk and behave with others. It highlights recurring roles and reactions so a person can see why they lose patience or get stuck in the same arguments. Working with this approach can help reduce reactive responses and improve communication.Alongside Transactional Analysis, Yana applies evidence-based techniques that focus on noticing thoughts and actions, and trying small behavioural experiments. These strategies help with anger, anxiety and relationship patterns by breaking habits and building alternative responses step by step.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree what to focus on together. That collaborative process looks at the client’s goals, day-to-day pressures and what feels manageable to try between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or busy schedules, and they can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins if that suits a packed day, or audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited.
