Anastasia Miloslavskaya, ACA

Anastasia Miloslavskaya is a holistic integrative psychotherapist and mindfulness coach who brings an international perspective to her private practice, HERE4U Counselling & Psychotherapy. She has lived in four countries, completed degrees at two universities and worked in a range of organisations before establishing her practice in Australia. Anastasia often supports international students and people who have relocated to Australia, helping them navigate the adaptation challenges that follow such major life changes. She pays close attention to the grief and loss that can accompany relocation and to the loneliness and despair that may precede depression, and she helps clients learn to manage anxiety and fears that slow or complicate adjustment.

Anastasia focuses on restoring harmony at home and in relationships so that anxiety and fear do not cause lasting harm. She aims to guide people toward a greater sense of inner balance that allows them to be present and to enjoy life. One client said "I feel like I am not just learning to acclimatise to a life in Australia but am becoming more confident to live the life I was meant to live, adapting to life." Another said "I never knew that a sense of relief can accompany grief and you normalised it for me in the most humane and kind way possible, I am truly grateful."

Anastasia approaches therapy with creativity and fresh perspective, grounded in the values of Respect, Kindness and Safety. Her practice honours individual differences and aims to help people feel validated and heard. Outside of work she enjoys painting, writing, singing, dancing, spending time with pets and connecting with nature. She is committed to reducing stigma around mental health and help seeking. Anastasia holds the credential ACA, indicating membership of a professional counselling association.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for managing ongoing stress, grief and for exploring life purpose in a practical, values-driven way. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections - it can help with abandonment, attachment issues and relationship difficulties by building awareness and new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to improve mood and functioning, and it can be effective for issues such as low self-esteem, impulsivity and coping with ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Anastasia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She draws on these methods flexibly and tailors them in conversation with clients so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions offer practical benefits for people balancing work, study and family. Anastasia provides support by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing for greater flexibility in scheduling and access from different locations. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals can adapt therapeutic techniques to work effectively across these formats, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and to engage with therapy in ways that suit individual lifestyles.
