About Stina

Stina Boro is an ACA counsellor with eight years of experience based in Australia. She works with people feeling stressed, anxious or depressed, and those coping with grief, trauma, relationship strain and parenting challenges. She also supports people dealing with identity and intimacy issues, addictions, ADHD and career pressures.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Conversations are collaborative and aim to make everyday problems easier to manage. She draws on acceptance and commitment approaches, attachment work and client-centred ways of listening to help people clarify values and practical next steps.

Sessions may include talking, simple grounding or mindfulness practices, and exercises to try between meetings. The emphasis is on skills that are useful in daily life rather than lengthy theory. Stina also brings attention to how past attachment experiences affect current relationships and communication patterns.

She has a background in counselling and community services and uses a range of methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques alongside existential questions about meaning and choice. This mix is intended to suit different kinds of concerns, from anxiety and sleep problems to feelings of abandonment and complicated family roles.

People looking for help with parenting stress, blended family issues, communication problems or the emotional impact of caregiving will find focused practical work. Stina offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, readers are asked to follow the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and still choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current closeness and conflict, which can be useful for parenting stress and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stina will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as you go. This is a collaborative process that aims to match techniques to what you need, whether that is skills practice, exploring relationship patterns, or short behavioural experiments.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a break. Talk with the service about scheduling, session length and any practical requirements so sessions fit into everyday life.
