About Stina
Stina Boro is an ACA counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy concerns. She supports people facing trauma, grief, identity questions and challenges such as eating, sleeping and addiction issues. Stina writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
Her sessions are collaborative. She draws on systemic ideas to look at patterns between people and contexts rather than blaming one part of a problem.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and take meaningful action aligned with their values. Stina blends attachment-focused work with client-centred skills. That means she pays attention to how past connections shape current feelings and helps people find steadier ways of relating.
Practical tools such as breathing, grounding and simple mindfulness exercises are offered when they fit the person’s needs. She has eight years of clinical experience working across mental health and community settings. Her practice is queer-affirming and intersectional, and she works respectfully with issues related to gender and sexual identity.
Sessions may involve short exercises, reflective talking and goal-focused steps. People often come to Stina to regain emotional balance, clarify next steps in life or manage ongoing stress and relationship strain. She aims to create an approachable space where people can explore change at their own pace.

Online support
Approaches that suit online counselling and what they do
Systemic therapy looks at relationships and wider life patterns to understand problems. Online sessions can use this approach to map interaction cycles and try small changes between sessions to see what shifts in everyday life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In online work ACT tools such as values clarification and brief exercises transfer easily to phone or messaging formats so people can practise between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape feelings and reactions today. Through gentle exploration and reflective conversation, the therapist helps people develop steadier ways of relating to themselves and others over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals, history and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative and refined as needs change rather than fixed from the start.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, on-the-go reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care, manage scheduling around work or family, and practise skills between sessions.
