About Stevan
Stevan Stankovic is a counsellor who uses a systemic approach to help clients untangle patterns in relationships and daily life. He combines practical steps with reflective conversation so people can make steady progress toward clearer goals. His style is compassionate and direct, and he aims to create a respectful space where honest talking leads to change.
He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and relationship concerns. He also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, career shifts, and issues with intimacy or self-esteem.
Background and approach
Sessions often explore how past relationships shape current reactions and coping habits. Stevan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to build useful skills. Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are added when they suit the person's needs.
The mix is practical: noticing patterns, testing small changes, and practising new ways of responding. Over five years he has worked with people facing complex life changes, compulsive behaviours and struggles with mood or attention. He uses attachment ideas in a straightforward way to help people understand why they react as they do and what might help them feel more stable.
Stevan holds PACFA credentialing and offers sessions in English and Serbian. He works with individuals in Australia and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for flexible ongoing care.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Systemic Therapy looks at how patterns of interaction shape problems and strengths. Online sessions use that lens to map relationship cycles and pinpoint small changes that can shift everyday dynamics. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-based action; online work often includes short exercises and real-life experiments to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, which suits clear skill-building across video or text formats.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before, then suggest methods to try. People are encouraged to give feedback so the approach can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, jotting down thoughts, or continuing work between sessions. These options create flexibility so people can access ongoing support without rearranging their whole day.
