Constance Siaflas

Constance Siaflas is an ACA counsellor based in Australia who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and depression. She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and she meets people with straightforward, respectful care. Conversations aim to help clients feel heard and start making practical changes. Constance uses a strengths-based stance and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on identifying realistic steps a person can try between meetings, so progress can be noticed day to day. She draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and to build meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at connection and relationship patterns. That can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or ongoing communication problems. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when people want short-term work to set clear goals and test small changes rapidly. Her background includes work in the government sector supporting people with disability, which shaped a practical approach to coping and daily supports. Constance has six years of professional experience and aims to keep sessions clear, calm and focused on what matters most to each person. People who contact Constance typically want to reduce anxiety, manage stress, navigate separation and divorce, or work through the effects of past trauma. She encourages prospective clients to take the first step and complete the brief intake so they can be matched and begin scheduling sessions.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It supports work on anxiety, stress and life direction by combining mindfulness with practical behaviour changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that feed distress and testing new ways of responding. CBT is often useful for panic, depression and managing anxiety symptoms. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Constance will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and recommend which methods to emphasise. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made collaboratively so the work fits your needs. The practical advantages of online therapy depend on the session options available with this therapist, so please confirm formats before booking. If online sessions are offered they can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Some clients find remote sessions useful for steady progress between in-person appointments, while others prefer longer blocks for deeper work. Constance aims to help clients use whichever arrangement best supports consistent, useful therapy work.
