About Yana
Yana Kambites is a counsellor who uses Transactional Analysis to help people notice how they speak and respond to others. She explains how habitual roles and reactions can be changed so people can make different choices in everyday moments. Yana aims to create calm, practical steps that parents and individuals can try between sessions.
She has four years of practice supporting people with stress and anxiety. Yana also helps with relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem and low mood.
Background and approach
Her work includes issues often linked to parenting, such as sleep disruption and intimacy-related pressures. Yana pays attention to family of origin patterns, abandonment and attachment questions that often shape adult behaviour. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, shame and codependency.
Conversations cover concrete communication habits and ways to manage impulsivity or jealousy. Her approach is conversational and straightforward. Sessions focus on understanding current reactions, spotting repeating patterns, and trying small changes to test what works.
Yana encourages people to set realistic goals and to build skills they can use at home. Sessions are offered in English and Bulgarian for people in the United Kingdom. Yana works online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Practical guidance and steady support are central to her style.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Transactional Analysis looks at the ways people talk and the roles they take in interactions. Online sessions use this method to identify recurring patterns and to practise different responses in real time. This can help with communication problems, relationship strain and parenting-related habits.Problem-focused conversation is another practical technique used in sessions. It involves setting a clear concern, trying small changes and reviewing what helped. This method suits issues like stress, sleep disruption, anger or coping with life changes because it emphasises steps you can try between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then recommend ways of working that fit your situation. Expect a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how you connect. Video calls allow more visual interaction for longer sessions, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around busy family routines and work commitments.
