About Zhamilya
Zhamilya Stamkulova is a PACFA counsellor based in Australia with six years of clinical experience. She views anxiety, depression and relationship strain as signals from the mind and body. In sessions she helps people find new ways to cope and make practical changes that ease day-to-day life.
Her approach starts by listening and creating a space where people can say what matters to them. This client-centred stance guides how she works, so clients shape the pace and focus of therapy. Practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are used when they fit the person’s goals.
Zhamilya also pays attention to deeper patterns that can keep problems repeating. Attachment-based ideas inform work on trust, closeness and abandonment concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used to help people notice and shift unhelpful relationship patterns.
She supports people facing life transitions such as grief, separation, immigration and cancer-related stress, and helps with career choices, money worries and feelings of isolation. Sessions aim to build clearer communication and firmer self-esteem.
People who want coaching-style work can expect practical steps alongside emotional exploration. Zhamilya offers a collaborative process that balances short-term goals with longer-term healing. Those interested should confirm session options before booking and follow the site’s start process to match and schedule.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy, reflective listening and space for people to set their own goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses simple exercises to help people notice thoughts and commit to values-based actions that reduce avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and helps people understand how early bonds affect current trust and closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then recommend a mix of methods. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are listed on the therapist’s profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets clients try tools and homework in everyday settings and then talk through what happened at the next session.
