About Alexandra
Alexandra Rubenis is a Level 3 Counsellor in Australia with three years of professional experience and an ACA credential. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients.
Alexandra writes plainly and focuses on what people actually need in the room. She listens to the facts of a person’s situation, helps name what’s happening, and looks for small, practical steps to reduce repeated overwhelm. She makes space for hard emotions and helps people practise different responses when anger or anxiety starts to rise.
Her background includes counselling and coaching experience with complex presentations. Alexandra has supported people dealing with trauma, addiction, domestic violence, personality-related difficulties, mood disorders, and intense stress. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and multicultural concerns.
In sessions she aims for clear collaboration. Conversations tend to be direct and grounded. Clients can expect to work on noticing triggers, trying new ways to respond, and building day-to-day habits that reduce reactivity. Practical skills and reflective work are mixed depending on what a person needs.
If someone wants to begin, they use the site matching process and then schedule a first session. Alexandra uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; exact costs vary with location.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Alexandra uses evidence-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning. One common approach focuses on skills to recognise and regulate intense feelings. This work teaches practical steps to pause, name sensations, and choose a different response when anger or anxiety arises. It is useful for repetitive patterns and workplace reactivity. Another approach emphasises exploring interpersonal patterns, including attachment and communication habits. This helps people see how past experiences shape current responses in relationships and practise clearer ways of asking for needs. That kind of work often reduces resentment and recurring conflict. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra discusses options with each person and adapts the methods to match goals, preferences, and what proves most helpful in early sessions. She aims to find practical tools to use between appointments as well as topics to review in therapy conversations. Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or reduce travel time. It also lets people try techniques in their real-life settings and then review what worked in the next session.Areas of focus
