Stina Boro , ACA

Stina Boro is a counsellor who combines practical skills with a gentle, body-aware sensibility to support people through complex life challenges. With eight years of experience in mental health and community services, she brings training that includes a Master of Counselling, certification in somatic therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) training, alongside trauma-informed foundations and training in yoga and mindfulness. She also holds ACA Level 4, a recognised counselling credential that reflects professional training and standards.

Her work centres on listening for each person’s strengths and resources, then collaborating to uncover new ways of relating to difficult feelings and patterns. Sessions are grounded in person-centred principles and a trauma-informed lens, with practical tools drawn from somatic practices, nervous system regulation, and attachment-aware approaches. Mindfulness, grounding exercises, breathwork, and guided visualisation may be offered gently and with consent as part of the therapeutic process.

Stina supports a broad range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, identity exploration, and life transitions. She has a particular focus on supporting girls and young women to develop voice and agency, and she works affirmatively with women, trans, and non-binary clients on cycle-related and hormonal concerns. Her practice honours the interplay of body, mind, and spirit and aims to help people reconnect with resilience that already exists within them.

Therapeutic approaches for effective online support

Stina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred ways of working. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions aligned with their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed in early relationships and how they shape current connections, offering tools for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment, or relationship conflict. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and the client’s own capacity to grow, making it a supportive foundation for many concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Stina works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the work unfolds so clients feel involved in shaping their care.

Online therapy with Stina is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes and to use methods that suit each client’s comfort and routine while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
