Yana Kambites , BACP

Yana Kambites draws on training in Transactional Analysis to help people understand the ways they communicate and the roles they adopt in relationships. She uses this approach to identify repetitive patterns, clarify choices, and support practical changes in how someone responds to challenges. This perspective is part of her everyday practice and informs how she works with each person.

She has helped clients with a range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem and confidence. Yana aims to create an open and accepting space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment. She recognises that reaching out for therapy takes courage and views her role as one of support and empowerment throughout that process.

In sessions she listens closely to understand a person’s experience from their point of view and works at a pace that feels manageable. Together with clients she explores what changes they want to make and develops insights and practical steps to move forward. Yana holds the BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Yana uses Transactional Analysis to explore how people communicate and the roles they fall into in relationships - this approach helps identify unhelpful interaction patterns and supports clearer choices about how to respond in the present. She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, which are structured methods informed by research that aim to clarify problems, build coping skills, and support emotional regulation for issues such as anxiety, low mood, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yana works collaboratively with each person and with other licensed professionals where appropriate to determine which methods best fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance means approaches can be adapted over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from therapists while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
