Stevan Stankovic , PACFA

He is a counsellor known for a compassionate yet direct style and a strong commitment to supporting personal growth. He creates a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can honestly explore their experiences while keeping attention on tangible progress and meaningful change.

Stevan takes a goal-focused and reflective approach, helping people navigate stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. He works with clients to build clarity and self-awareness and to develop practical tools that can be applied outside of sessions. He believes meaningful growth arises from a blend of empathy and gentle challenge, being truly heard, and having support to move forward.

He often weaves attachment-based insights into his work, using an understanding of early relational patterns to shed light on how people connect, cope, and react under pressure as adults. Whether a client is already familiar with attachment ideas or encountering them for the first time, he applies that framework in practical, grounded ways to support understanding and change. Together with clients, he focuses on building emotional resilience, firmer boundaries, and a more secure relationship with self and others. He is accredited with PACFA, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is useful for those feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, or life transitions and supports practical steps toward a more values-driven life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaching skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and problems that respond well to structured skill building and practical strategies.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process and integrate distressing experiences in a paced and supportive way. It is tailored for those impacted by past trauma and aims to reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic memories on daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stevan will work collaboratively with clients to consider needs, goals, and preferences and to select or combine methods that best support progress and wellbeing.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need to travel, while still receiving focused, practical care.
