About Stina
Stina Boro helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, grief and identity concerns. She works with issues such as self-esteem, addictions, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and mood difficulties. Stina is an ACA counsellor with eight years' experience and based in Australia.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens for what matters most to each person, and then shapes sessions around those priorities. Conversations are plain and practical, with space for emotion, personal stories and straightforward tools to try between sessions.
How Stina works
Stina draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and step toward meaningful action. Cognitive behavioural techniques are offered where problem-solving and skill practice will help.
Attachment-informed work helps explore how past relationships affect current patterns. Sessions may include breathing or grounding exercises when these feel helpful, and Stina invites clients to try practical strategies in everyday life. She believes small changes build momentum and focuses on skills that are realistic to use between meetings.
People come to Stina for support with life transitions, relationship difficulties, identity exploration and coping with long-term conditions. Her approach aims to restore a sense of agency and self-trust while recognising how the body and emotions fit together. She works in English and sees people online across Australia.

How Stina’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer on what matters to them and take steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical strategies to change behaviours and reduce symptoms; it suits worries, sleep problems and mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people form more supported ways of relating and communicating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stina offers a collaborative process in which she and the client discuss goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Over a few sessions they review what helps and adapt the plan together.
Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for a full session with face-to-face conversation, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and other commitments.
