Yana Kambites, BACP

Yana Kambites brings a practical and relational approach to therapy, using Transactional Analysis to explore how people speak, respond, and take on roles in their lives. She helps clients recognise patterns of interaction and habitual reactions, and supports them in making more conscious choices that lead to constructive change. Her training in this model informs both insight and actionable steps, offering clients tools to respond differently in the moment and to meet challenges with greater clarity.

Yana has worked with people facing a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and confidence. She aims to create a friendly, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed openly, and where exploring difficult emotions is met with understanding rather than blame. She encourages clients to take the courageous first steps toward a more satisfying and balanced life, providing support and practical guidance throughout the process.

In sessions she works at each person’s pace, listening from the client’s perspective and helping to identify the changes they want to make. Yana holds BACP, a professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists that reflects recognised training and ethical standards, and she uses that framework to guide her practice and professional responsibilities.

How Transactional Analysis and evidence-based techniques work online

Yana uses Transactional Analysis to look at communication patterns and the roles people adopt in relationships - this approach helps clients recognise why certain reactions occur and offers practical ways to choose different responses in everyday situations. She also draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on building coping skills, improving emotional regulation and addressing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to support relief from stress, anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Yana works together with each client to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adapting methods as the work progresses so the approach fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with a registered professional offers flexible options to suit different lives and needs - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support can continue through live chat or text-based messaging when that format is preferred. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care and a consistent therapeutic relationship.
