Stina Boro, ACA

Stina Boro is an ACA counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, intimacy-related issues and grief. She also supports people navigating identity questions, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and the everyday weight of life changes. Stina writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

With eight years of clinical experience, Stina uses an integrative style that centres the person in front of her. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client's needs. She brings practical tools alongside open conversation so people can test small changes between meetings.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, client-centred listening, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Stina also weaves in existential perspectives when people want to tackle meaning, values or life direction. These methods are used to address practical problems and emotional patterns alike.

Stina is familiar with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar and depression, abandonment and attachment wounds, autism and neurodiversity, BDSM and kink culture, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and blended family dynamics. She offers a queer-affirming approach and attends to how gender and social pressures affect wellbeing.

In sessions she may introduce grounding, breathwork or mindfulness practices when they fit the client's goals. The focus is on building skills that feel useful in daily life and on helping people reconnect with their own sense of agency.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building flexible behaviour. It helps when anxiety, avoidance or low motivation get in the way of what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they influence current trust and intimacy; it can help with relationship struggles and attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stina treats approach selection as a collaborative process and adjusts methods to match each person's goals and preferences. Clients and therapist review what is helping and change direction if needed, so the work stays relevant and practical.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so people can use a break from work. Some approaches lend themselves to homework and skill practice that suit an online rhythm, and techniques like guided grounding or breathwork can be taught and tried between sessions.
