Stina Boro , ACA

Stina Boro brings a warm, integrative perspective to counselling, grounded in trauma-aware and queer-affirming practice. She honours the interplay of body, mind, and identity while working collaboratively with each person to explore their inner world and practical concerns. Her work is informed by somatic awareness, mindfulness, and attachment-informed approaches, and she offers gentle practices such as grounding, breathwork, and guided visualisation when appropriate and with consent.

Stina supports people through a broad range of issues including trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief and life transitions, eating and sleeping concerns, addictions, parenting and family dynamics, and identity exploration. She also works with hormone-related cycle concerns and offers an intersectional lens that centres the experiences of women, trans, and non-binary people as well as young women developing agency and voice in a culture shaped by patriarchal norms.

She holds an ACA credential, which reflects membership in a professional counselling association. Stina’s manner is person-centred, compassionate, and attuned; she collaborates with clients to tailor approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based interventions, cognitive strategies, and existential reflection to meet individual needs. Her aim is not to fix what is broken but to help people reconnect with what is already whole.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Stina draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed in early life and how they affect present-day relationships and emotional regulation - it can be especially helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and family dynamics.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy, respect, and the client’s own capacity for growth, providing a supportive space for identity exploration and self-trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Stina works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as the work unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and for those who prefer written communication, live chat or text-based messaging are options. This variety makes it easier to access consistent support alongside daily life, whether for brief check-ins, ongoing sessions, or working through specific challenges.
