About Stina

Stina Boro is an ACA counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, codependency and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, low self-esteem, addictions and life transitions. Her approach is calm and relational, aimed at helping people feel steadier and clearer about their next steps.

Stina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work and client-centred methods in sessions. She keeps language simple and practical, using exercises and conversation to build insight and new ways of coping. Sessions may include breathing or grounding practices when these feel useful.

She has eight years of experience in mental health and community services and brings a respectful, non-judgemental manner to each meeting. Stina tends to work collaboratively, helping people set goals they find meaningful and realistic. She values each person’s perspective and moves at a pace that suits them.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns from parenting stress and career pressures to intimacy-related issues, ADHD, bipolar and depression. Stina also addresses areas such as body image, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and codependency. She is based in Australia and works in English.

To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to her availability. Session costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps towards them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anxiety, depression or codependency make decision-making or action feel hard.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. In sessions this can mean noticing patterns in connection and practising different responses to build more secure ways of being with others.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and uses empathetic listening to help people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-trust and working through identity and relationship concerns.

Choosing an approach is part of the work and the therapist will help figure out what fits best. That choice is collaborative and can shift as needs and goals change over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also make it simpler to manage concentration or sensory needs by choosing audio-only or turning off the camera. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt ACT, attachment-based and client-centred methods to an online setting to keep sessions focused and practical.
