About Zhamilya
PACFA counsellor based in Australia with six years' experience, Zhamilya Stamkulova focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, depression and life changes. She also works with issues around self-esteem, career decisions, grief and LGBT concerns. Zhamilya combines several practical approaches to help people manage current symptoms and understand deeper patterns that keep them stuck.
Zhamilya uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. She draws on Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with room for reflection and skill practice.
People come to her with a wide range of problems including abandonment, commitment and communication issues, family of origin difficulties, immigration-related stress, and isolation. She also supports those facing cancer, financial strain, or major life transitions. Zhamilya aims to address both immediate coping needs and longer term relationship or personality patterns.
Her approach blends talking therapies with specific exercises. That can mean noticing patterns in the moment, trying new ways of relating, and experimenting with small behavioural changes between sessions. The mix of short-term practical tools and deeper attachment work helps people manage symptoms while working toward lasting shifts.
Zhamilya practises in Australia and works in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches are used in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and making clearer life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce symptoms like low mood or excessive worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and helps people try new ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, and then agree on a plan together. That collaborative process means practical tools and deeper relational work can be combined as needed.
The original biography does not specify particular session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets therapy focus on skills practice, noticing patterns in daily life and trying out different ways of communicating between sessions.
