Stina Boro, ACA

Stina Boro is an experienced counsellor based in Australia who draws on eight years working with people facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She combines a collaborative, person-centered style with practical therapeutic methods to help clients manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around identity and sexuality. Stina also supports people dealing with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, attention differences like ADHD, substance and behavioural addictions, parenting and family dynamics, career transitions, and body-related concerns including eating and sleep problems.

Holding the ACA credential, which reflects membership in a recognised professional counselling association, Stina works with clients across life stages and backgrounds, including LGBT and queer-identified people, women, trans and non-binary individuals, and those navigating complex family histories such as adoption or foster care. Her practice addresses intimacy, communication, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and co-occurring challenges so clients can rebuild agency and self-trust.

Stina uses established clinical approaches - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based methods, client-centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and existential perspectives - selecting tools to match each client’s needs. She aims to create an attuned, respectful environment where people can explore their inner experience, develop new coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Stina

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, avoidance, and life transitions by supporting committed steps toward what matters most.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that develop in close relationships and how early experiences shape current ways of relating. This approach helps people address intimacy issues, communication difficulties, abandonment or attachment concerns, and relational trauma by building safer, more connected ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and supports self-directed growth through empathic listening and acceptance. It is useful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and navigating grief or major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stina collaborates with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies as the work evolves.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility and greater access to therapy for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographical constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose formats that feel most comfortable for each person while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
