About Zhamilya
Zhamilya Stamkulova is a PACFA counsellor practising in Australia with six years of experience. She works with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles and life changes. She also supports people facing stress, grief, career questions and issues related to identity and sexuality.
Zhamilya frames symptoms as signals the body and mind use to cope. Sessions involve looking at what those signals are saying and trying practical ways to respond differently. She draws on approaches that focus on feelings, thoughts and attachment patterns.
Many people bring patterns from their family of origin into adult life. Zhamilya helps people notice these patterns and how they affect relationships, trust and self-worth. She will talk through communication habits, commitment concerns and problems that come up when roles from childhood repeat themselves in adulthood.
Her work can include short-term problem-solving and longer conversations about deeper patterns. Therapy may involve learning new skills for managing anxiety or changing how someone responds to conflict. Session work also covers career concerns, financial stress, isolation and adjustment after major life events.
People who are navigating immigration, multicultural issues or cancer-related strain are within her areas of focus. Zhamilya uses a mix of practical exercises and talking therapies to help people take clear steps forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values. It helps people take practical steps that matter to them even when anxiety or doubt appears. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and trust, which is useful for people tracing family of origin influences. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s perspective and moves at the client’s pace, supporting clearer self-understanding and decision making.Working out which approach suits a person is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about different methods, try a few things in early sessions and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which blend of techniques and focus areas to use for ongoing work.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without being on camera if that helps concentration or reduces stress. Appropriately registered therapists aim to make sessions practical and usable in everyday life, and will discuss how sessions can be scheduled, cancelled or adapted during the matching and booking process.
