About Stina
Stina Boro is an ACA counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and the emotional impact of disasters. She works with issues like trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, low self-esteem, eating and sleep difficulties, and life changes. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at helping someone feel steadier day to day.
Stina uses a blend of approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and take small, values-driven steps. Attachment-based ideas guide work on how early relationships shape current connection and trust.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Stina listens for what matters to an individual and offers straightforward tools like grounding, breath work, and mindful exercises when helpful. She frames change as gradual and realistic rather than quick fixes.
Her background includes eight years working in mental health and community services. The ACA credential is noted in her profile as part of her professional identity. Stina also brings trauma-informed awareness into sessions, so people can address difficult memories without being overwhelmed.
People often come to her for help after big life events, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster, or when transitions leave them uncertain. Stina aims to help people reconnect with their own strengths and make manageable choices that suit their life.
How key approaches shape online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that fit their values, even when emotions are difficult. It suits worries, low mood, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and testing small changes to shift those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect trust and closeness now and can be useful for relational and intimacy issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stina treats therapy as a collaboration and will help people choose which methods to try based on their concerns, goals and what feels manageable. Plans can be adjusted as work progresses so methods align with a person's needs and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in this profile. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use quieter surroundings or turn off video if that helps them concentrate. Appropriately qualified counsellors can use these benefits to keep therapy practical and focused on achievable steps.
