About Stina
Stina Boro is an ACA counsellor with eight years of experience practising in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addictions, grief and codependency among other concerns. Sessions are offered in English and aimed at people who keep putting others first or who feel stuck in reactive patterns.
Her style is collaborative and client-centred. Stina draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. She uses straightforward, practical conversations alongside reflective exercises to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Stina also integrates attention to the body and nervous system. This can include simple grounding practices, breathwork and mindful awareness when it fits the conversation. She describes her work as trauma-informed and attentive to attachment needs rather than focused on quick fixes.
People often come to her for help with people-pleasing, boundary setting, intimacy-related concerns and negotiating life changes. She also supports clients dealing with identity questions, LGBT issues, ADHD and career or parenting stress. Stina works with the interpersonal patterns that keep problems repeating, including codependency and communication difficulties.
Practical steps in sessions may include values clarification, behaviour experiments, thought work and exploring early relationship patterns. The aim is to build clearer choices and steadier responses to stressful situations. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and practical benefits
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It suits issues like anxiety, codependency and stuck behavioural patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship experiences shape current connections and helps people recognise and change repetitive interaction styles that cause pain.These approaches are offered in a collaborative way. The therapist will work with each client to identify which methods seem most helpful for their goals and preferences. Over the first few sessions the focus may shift as needs become clearer, and choices about techniques are made together.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as those options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during workday breaks or from another quiet place. They can also make shorter check-ins simpler when people need them, and avoid the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Ask about session length and frequency when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your schedule and goals.
