About Yana
Yana Kambites uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make different choices about how they respond to life’s challenges. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to the person in front of her. Yana works in English and Bulgarian and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Yana helps with stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship strain, anger, grief and trauma or abuse.
How Yana works
Intimacy issues, sleeping problems, parenting worries, career decisions and life changes are part of her practice as well. She pays attention to how people speak and react in everyday interactions. That practical focus helps uncover patterns such as attachment, codependency or control issues.
Yana also addresses abandonment, family of origin matters, jealousy and feelings of emptiness. Sessions look at concrete goals rather than abstract labels. Conversations aim to identify small, achievable changes and clearer ways to communicate.
Work can include dealing with impulsivity, guilt and shame, fertility concerns, money worries and finding life purpose. Yana describes the room as warm and non-judgemental. She encourages people to move at a pace that feels manageable.
The emphasis is on support, empowerment and making sustainable steps forward.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online and in sessions
Yana uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on how people interact and respond in everyday situations. One approach examines communication patterns and typical reactions to help identify unhelpful roles and responses; it supports people who want clearer communication or less reactivity in relationships. Another approach targets attachment and abandonment themes by looking at how early relationships influence current feelings and behaviour, which can help with intimacy issues and feelings of loneliness.Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic work. Yana will collaborate with each person to agree which techniques to try, based on their goals, preferences and what comes up in session. That means approaches can be adjusted as understanding deepens and circumstances change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want ongoing support between sessions, or need more discreet, paced contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and daily life.
