About Zhamilya
Zhamilya Stamkulova is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who are managing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and life changes. Her practice also includes support around self-esteem, career concerns, LGBT issues and coaching for practical goals.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on noticing patterns that keep problems going and trying different ways of responding. Zhamilya balances short-term strategies with work on deeper personal themes so change can last beyond a few sessions.
Sessions often look at how attachments and past relationships shape current reactions. She also brings in practical techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches to reduce anxiety and build coping skills. Conversations are goal-oriented and concrete, with exercises people can use between sessions.
Her background includes a mix of therapy models such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and psychodynamic ideas. That mix supports both skills training and exploration of underlying issues like abandonment, attachment and family of origin problems.
People who come for help might be dealing with separation, commitment worries, immigration stress, financial pressure or isolation. Zhamilya helps people move from feeling stuck to trying small, manageable changes that fit everyday life.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; CBT gives practical exercises to reduce anxiety and test new habits. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and practise small actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and to build clearer communication and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether CBT, ACT or attachment work is most useful for the person seeking help. That decision is made collaboratively and can shift as those goals change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time and allow for brief check-ins when needed. They also let people practise techniques in the settings where problems occur, which can make exercises more practical and relevant.
