About Alexandra
ACA counsellor Alexandra Rubenis has three years of professional experience in Australia supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. She works with individuals who bring a range of concerns and aims to understand their situation before planning how to proceed.
Alexandra describes herself as a Level 3 Counsellor. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a coaching background to help people tackle immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than abstract theory.
Her work often looks at attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, codependency and body image. She also addresses concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, and multicultural issues. People come for help with loneliness, life purpose, guilt and shame, and mood disorders.
In a session, Alexandra aims to listen carefully, clarify what matters most, and offer collaborative next steps. That can include short-term approaches to reduce acute stress or slower work on relationship patterns and forgiveness. She combines coaching-style goal setting with counselling conversations.
Clients are encouraged to describe what they want from therapy and to set achievable goals. Alexandra asks practical questions about current routines and relationships, then suggests small experiments or communication changes to try between sessions. Her style is direct and solution-minded while attending to the personal history that shapes present difficulties.

How Alexandra works remotely and the approaches she uses
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a coaching mindset. One common approach she employs focuses on identifying current stressors and building small, measurable coping strategies. This helps when anxiety, low mood or daily overwhelm are the main problems.Another strand of work concentrates on relationship patterns and attachment issues. This approach looks at how early relationships shape present reactions and then experiments with new ways of communicating and setting boundaries to change those patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra discusses your goals and preferences, explains possible methods, and together you decide which to try first. That collaborative process can shift as needs change over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commuting time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. The therapist will suggest how to structure remote appointments so they suit your schedule and therapeutic aims.
