About Alexandra

Alexandra Rubenis is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia. She presents herself as a Level 3 counsellor who supports people through difficult life events and ongoing struggles. Alexandra writes simply and kindly, and aims to help people feel heard while they work through what matters most to them.

She has three years of professional experience and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, anger and depression. Additional areas she engages with include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, loneliness and multicultural concerns.

In sessions she aims to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Alexandra describes her style as empathic and accepting, and she works at each person’s pace. Conversations are practical and aimed at helping people find small, useful steps toward change.

Her work emphasises understanding the person beyond a set of symptoms. She listens for what matters in each person’s story and helps identify goals and workable strategies. The focus can include building resilience, improving relationships, and easing overwhelming emotions.

People interested in starting are invited to use the platform’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule. Alexandra offers sessions in English and does not take international clients at this time.

Therapeutic tools and using online sessions

Alexandra describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding feelings and improving how people relate to themselves and others. One approach she often uses helps people recognise unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour and then practise small changes to feel less overwhelmed and more capable. Another common strand emphasises building awareness of attachment and relationship patterns so people can improve communication and closeness where it matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Alexandra aims to discuss options with each person, adapting methods to fit their goals, needs and personal style. This is a collaborative decision rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when life is unpredictable. Different session arrangements may suit different people, so confirm current options before booking. The therapist can help work out a routine that fits around work, family or study commitments and makes it easier to keep progressing between sessions.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
