Constance Siaflas, ACA

Constance Siaflas is an ACA counsellor based in Australia who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and depression. She focuses on practical steps that help carers and other adults manage day-to-day pressures. Constance uses plain language so worried parents and carers can understand what to expect in sessions.

She works from a strengths-based viewpoint and treats each person as the expert on their own life. That means sessions look at what already works for you, then build small changes that fit your routine. Constance aims to make early sessions feel manageable and concrete rather than overwhelming.

Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, along with attachment-based and solution-focused ideas. She blends these methods to match the issue you bring, whether that is panic, grief, chronic illness stress or communication breakdowns.

Constance has six years of clinical experience, including time working in the government sector supporting people with disability. She uses that background to notice practical barriers and to help find workable strategies for everyday life.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and Constance acknowledges that courage is needed to take the first step. She supports carers by helping them manage the unique stresses of caring roles while also attending to personal needs and recovery.

How Constance uses ACT, CBT and attachment ideas online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions instead of getting stuck. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and finding meaning during caregiving. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches clear tools to reduce panic, worry and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they relate when old wounds affect current connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Constance will talk with you about your goals and preferences, and together you can pick techniques that suit your situation. That collaborative decision-making helps shape a plan you can try between sessions.
