Anastasia Miloslavskaya , ACA

Anastasia Miloslavskaya, who sometimes refers to herself as Sasha, is a holistic integrative psychotherapist and mindfulness coach. She has lived in four countries, completed studies at two universities, and worked in a variety of organisations before establishing her private practice, HERE4U Counselling & Psychotherapy. She holds the ACA credential, a professional counselling credential that reflects her training in the field. She has experience supporting international students and individuals who have relocated to Australia as they face the practical and emotional challenges of adaptation and adjustment. While many people adapt over time, Anastasia recognises that grief and loss tied to major life changes can be profound, and she aims to address feelings of loneliness, despair, anxiety and fear before they undermine overall wellbeing.

She helps clients work toward greater harmony at home and in relationships, supporting people to be present and to enjoy the life they are building. 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 reflected, '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 describes her practice as thinking outside the box and offering fresh perspectives, grounded in core values of Respect, Kindness and Safety. Her personal and professional mantra is People are what matters. Outside of work she enjoys painting, writing, singing, dancing, animals and nature, and she works with flexibility to honour individual differences so clients feel validated and heard. She is committed to reducing stigma around mental health and encouraging help seeking.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying their personal values and committing to small, meaningful actions. It is often used to address anxiety, persistent worry, and challenges that interfere with living a valued life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to improve current connection, boundaries and emotional safety, and can be helpful for people working through abandonment, relationship struggles or family of origin issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens actively and follows the client, helping people who need validation, self esteem work and a supportive environment to process feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Anastasia collaborates with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She and a client work together to adjust techniques as trust and progress develop, aiming for practical strategies that feel manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each client.
