Zhamilya Stamkulova, PACFA

Zhamilya Stamkulova is a credentialed therapist practising in Australia with 6 years of professional experience and a PACFA credential (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia). She approaches issues such as anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties as meaningful signals - ways the mind and body attempt to manage stressful or painful circumstances - rather than simply problems to be fixed. In therapy she works with clients to discover more effective ways of coping while also attending to deeper patterns that often underlie recurring struggles.

Zhamilya combines practical coping strategies with exploration of attachment histories and emotional patterns so change can be both immediate and long lasting. Her work supports people facing stress, grief, life transitions, career questions and relationship challenges, and she also offers coaching-style support where appropriate. Sessions are tailored to the individual, with a focus on understanding roots of difficulty as well as building new skills and habits that align with each client’s values and life goals.

Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful process aimed at sustainable development rather than quick fixes. Zhamilya provides therapy in English and offers flexible online and remote options for Australians seeking support for personal, relational or vocational concerns.

Attachment, ACT and Counselling Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to take actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress and life transitions by emphasising practical steps and psychological flexibility.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. This approach supports people working through trust, abandonment, commitment and communication issues by helping them understand and change relational habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and will be determined collaboratively. Zhamilya will work with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may integrate elements from different approaches to suit the situation.

Online therapy offers practical benefits in accessibility and flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection from home, phone sessions suit those on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier for Australians to engage in consistent therapy with appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists while balancing work, family and other commitments.
