About Alexandra
Alexandra Rubenis is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia who supports people through difficult life moments. She brings three years of counselling experience and a focus on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Alexandra aims to make therapy straightforward and respectful so people feel heard from the first session.
She frames work as a partnership. Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs, with practical steps alongside listening and reflection. Alexandra pays attention to attachment concerns, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or isolation when these come up.
Her background includes supporting people affected by trauma, addiction, domestic violence, and complex mental health concerns. Alexandra also offers assistance with communication problems, body image, guilt and shame, and life-purpose questions. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape each plan to the person in front of her.
Clients can expect a direct but compassionate style. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change next. Alexandra helps people name patterns, practise new ways of relating, and reduce day-to-day stressors.
She works in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Alexandra uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Alexandra works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building coping skills. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and practise small changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. This approach suits stress, anxiety and mood concerns by teaching practical ways to respond differently.Another frequent emphasis is on attachment and relational patterns. This style looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and helps people develop steadier, more satisfying ways of relating. It is often used for codependency, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra will discuss different ways of working and choose methods that match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue care if they move within Australia, while the therapist and client decide the best approach for their situation.
