About Stina Boro
Stina Boro is a counsellor based in Australia who brings eight years of experience in mental health and community services to a grounded, integrative practice. She combines formal training and embodied approaches to support people navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, grief, life transitions, and a wide range of other concerns listed among her specialties. Stina holds a Master of Counselling - a postgraduate degree in therapeutic practice - and has training as a certified somatic therapist and in Internal Family Systems, alongside experience as a yoga and mindfulness teacher. She also holds an ACA credential.
Her work is trauma-informed and person-centred, attentive to the interplay of body, mind, and lived experience. She uses somatic techniques, attachment-informed perspectives, nervous-system regulation, and systemic ideas to help clients build agency, voice, and self-trust. Stina offers an explicitly queer-affirming and intersectional practice and provides particular support for women, trans, and non-binary people as they navigate cycle-related concerns and the emotional impacts of hormonal changes.
Sessions may include gentle mindfulness, grounding exercises, breathwork, or guided visualisation when appropriate and with consent. Stina’s approach emphasises collaboration, respect for each person’s inner resources, and practical tools to help people move toward meaningful change without framing healing as fixing what is broken.

Approaches That Translate to Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop practical skills to live in line with those values. ACT combines mindfulness strategies with behavior-focused work and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and the ways early connections shape current relationships. It helps clients understand attachment styles, improve communication, and build more secure bonds in close relationships.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a collaborative, empathetic therapeutic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's pace and perspective. This approach supports self-exploration, self-acceptance, and empowerment across a wide range of concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stina and other licensed professionals work collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, family, and other commitments. These options increase accessibility and allow therapists and clients to focus on treatment and skill-building without requiring in-person visits.
