About Zhamilya

Zhamilya Stamkulova is a PACFA counsellor based in Australia with six years of clinical experience. She approaches anxiety, depression and relationship concerns as signals that something in life needs attention. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage symptoms while also looking for deeper patterns that maintain distress. The aim is steady, meaningful change rather than quick fixes.

She uses a mix of therapy styles to suit each person's needs. That can mean learning new thinking habits, noticing emotional patterns linked to attachment, or practising values-based actions to move forward. Zhamilya often helps people who are facing life changes, career uncertainty or grief, and she supports those dealing with money and financial issues in the context of stress and wellbeing.

Her work also covers self-esteem, communication problems, commitment and separation issues, and multicultural or immigration concerns. She listens for how early relationships and family of origin issues shape current choices. This includes approaches aimed at healing attachment wounds and improving how people connect with others.

Zhamilya blends short-term tools with longer-term exploration. Clients can expect clear, step-by-step strategies alongside space to reflect on roots of recurring patterns. Sessions aim to leave people feeling more capable, clearer about priorities, and better able to handle everyday pressures.

She runs therapy in English and does not take international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that fit those values, even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and trust; it is helpful for communication problems and commitment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will talk through what feels most relevant and try methods that match the person's goals and pace. That collaborative way helps people test what works and adjust over time rather than sticking to one fixed method.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can make follow-up between sessions simpler and keep momentum when life is hectic. The specific session formats offered by this therapist are not listed here, so confirm current session options before booking to make sure they suit your needs.
