About Alexandra
Alexandra Rubenis is an ACA counsellor in Australia with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger and depression. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, codependency, and life purpose.
Alexandra frames conversations in direct, practical terms. Sessions aim to identify the patterns that keep someone stuck and test small changes that shift daily life. She listens for how past hurts shape present reactions and helps people notice what is working and what gets in the way.
Her background combines counselling and elements of professional coaching. That means sessions often blend reflective conversation with action steps. Clients can expect check-ins on how new strategies land between meetings and adjustments based on real experience.
In the room she concentrates on clear communication and steady pacing. Topics commonly include attachment wounds, feelings of emptiness, managing anger, and navigating separation or divorce. She also supports people exploring life purpose and adapting after big changes.
Alexandra works in English and bases her practice in Australia. She describes her role as a collaborator who helps people sort through tangled thoughts and try manageable steps forward. To begin, people use the site questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Alexandra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine reflection with practical action. One common approach focuses on recognising how attachment and past relationships shape current emotions and behaviour, helping people understand recurring patterns and try different responses. Another strand uses structured problem-solving and coaching-style steps to break larger issues into small, testable changes that are reviewed in later sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and pace. She reviews what helps, adapts techniques where needed, and involves the person in choosing next steps rather than imposing a single method.
The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid commute time, or use fewer video resources when bandwidth is limited. Alexandra will discuss how to structure appointments so they fit into everyday life and the goals a person wants to address.
