About Stina

Stina Boro is an ACA counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She also helps with self-esteem, addiction challenges, intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, and career or life-change stresses. Her work includes attention to adoption and foster care topics and related attachment concerns.

Stina uses clear, practical conversations. Sessions are collaborative and focus on what the person wants to change. She draws on therapy approaches that help with thoughts, behaviour, values and relationships rather than using jargon or complex labels.

Her background includes eight years working in mental health and community services, plus postgraduate study in counselling. This mix informs a grounded style that blends talking with simple body-based practices when helpful. Stina may offer breathing, grounding or guided imagery as part of sessions, introduced gently and with consent.

People come to her for help with identity, LGBT concerns, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and neurodiversity-related issues such as autism and ADHD. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness and caregiving strain, abandonment and attachment wounds, and kink-affirming sexuality conversations.

Sessions aim to identify small, doable steps that fit into everyday life. The emphasis is on practical tools, clearer communication and building self-trust. Prospective clients are encouraged to start by sharing their immediate priorities so sessions can be tailored from the first meeting.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings. It suits worries, life changes and low mood that benefit from concrete actions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating and feeling safer in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining ACT with attachment work or using client-centred listening alongside practical CBT-style exercises depending on what the person needs.

The biography does not list session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they reduce travel, make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others appreciate being able to continue therapy while relocating inside Australia. The focus is on making sessions practical and workable for everyday life rather than promising a specific technology or delivery method.
