About Stevan
Stevan Stankovic is a PACFA counsellor who uses practical, goal-focused work to help people make real change. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk honestly and leave sessions with simple tools to try in daily life. He combines clear-minded questioning with warm support.
Sessions focus on building self-awareness, emotional resilience and firmer boundaries. Stevan balances empathy with gentle challenge so progress feels steady rather than overwhelming.
How Stevan works
Stevan helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and addiction. He also supports people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, career changes and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. He works with people facing parenting pressures and compassion fatigue as well.
Attachment ideas often shape his approach. He explains attachment styles in plain language and uses them to make patterns easier to understand. That framework is applied in practical ways to improve communication, manage impulses and reduce isolation.
Sessions are designed to leave people with skills to use between meetings. Over time the aim is clearer choices, better emotional regulation and a stronger relationship with yourself. Stevan works in English and Serbian and practises from Australia.

Online support options
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what really matters and take small steps in that direction. It focuses on values, mindful action and building tolerance for difficult thoughts and feelings so daily life can feel more meaningful.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It teaches straightforward techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, change patterns of behaviour and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Mindfulness Therapy supports learning simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These practices pair well with ACT and CBT to make coping skills more accessible in everyday moments.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try small strategies and adjust methods together so therapy matches what the client prefers and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
