About Stina
Stina Boro is an ACA counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship pain, and the challenges of living with health conditions. She works with issues such as depression, bipolar mood swings, ADHD, addiction, body image and intimacy-related concerns. Stina also supports people navigating career strain, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is warm and collaborative. Stina listens for what matters to each person and helps them find practical ways to feel steadier day to day. Sessions often include simple grounding and breathing techniques to calm the nervous system and make talking easier.
Stina draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred therapy. She uses clear examples and short exercises so people can try new ways of responding between sessions. The focus is on small, doable steps rather than big overhauls.
She has eight years of professional experience in mental health and community services. That experience informs a trauma-aware practice and an emphasis on respect for identity and culture, including queer-affirming work.
Stina works from Australia and runs sessions in English. People who are coping with chronic pain, long-term illness or disability can bring those day-to-day realities into therapy and work on managing their emotional and practical impacts.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and to focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with long-term health conditions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps people practice new ways of connecting and feeling safer with others. Client-centred therapy gives people space to be heard and understood, with the therapist following the person’s lead and reflecting back what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Stina treats selection of methods as a collaborative conversation and will help work out what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. The plan can shift over time as priorities change.
Please confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by eliminating travel time, letting someone join from a quieter room, or making a shorter check-in possible on a work break. These practical benefits help people sustain regular contact with a therapist and try new skills in their day-to-day routine.
