About Stina

Stina Boro is an ACA counsellor with eight years of professional experience based in Australia. She works with common young-adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, identity questions and life transitions. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, parenting stresses and issues with sleep or eating.

Stina uses straightforward, person-centred conversations to help clients make sense of what they are feeling. Sessions focus on practical strategies alongside talking through patterns that get in the way. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance-focused methods to help with mood and worry.

Attachment-based thinking is part of her approach. That means looking at how early and current relationship patterns affect how people connect now. This can be useful for dating, intimacy, communication problems and feeling stuck after a breakup or move.

Stina describes her work as collaborative and respectful of each person’s experience. She may introduce breathing or grounding practices when those tools feel helpful. She avoids jargon and aims to keep sessions clear and down-to-earth.

Her practice includes support for a wide range of issues including LGBT concerns, addiction, ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue. She also works with people dealing with adoption and foster-care histories, attachment issues, body image and chronic illness.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Stina works in English and does not take international clients at this time.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Stina often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting ruled by them and focus on values-guided action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck in life changes.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how relationship patterns affect current connection and communication. This approach can help with dating, intimacy-related issues and recurring relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stina will discuss options and together they will decide what fits best with the client's goals, needs and preferences. That means checking in about what techniques feel useful and adjusting as therapy progresses.

The site asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and everyday life, and they can reduce travel time or allow a quicker check-in between commitments.
