About Stina
Stina Boro is an ACA counsellor with eight years working in mental health and community services. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, addiction and ADHD. She also supports those facing career strain, sleeping and eating problems, and major life changes.
Her style is practical and person-centred. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, and trying different ways to respond. Stina uses clear exercises and conversational reflection rather than technical language. She encourages small experiments between sessions to test what helps in everyday life.
Stina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work and client-centred methods. That mix lets her work with thinking patterns, values-guided action and relationship dynamics. She describes her approach as collaborative and trauma-informed, and she offers grounding and mindfulness practices in-session when helpful.
She has experience with a broad range of concerns including body image, neurodiversity, caregiver stress, blended family issues and kink-aware support. Stina also focuses on abandonment and attachment wounds and the emotional effects of chronic illness.
Sessions are conducted in English from Australia. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Stina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain stress and anxiety. CBT involves structured exercises and short experiments that translate well to remote work because they can be practised between sessions in daily life.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and committed action. ACT helps when people want to act in line with what matters to them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current interactions, which can be explored through conversation and relationship-focused exercises online.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Stina will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then recommend ways of working together. This is a collaborative decision and may change as therapy proceeds.
The specific session formats for her practice are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to try therapeutic exercises at home and bring real-life situations into session discussion.
