Alexandra Rubenis

Alexandra Rubenis is an ACA counsellor based in Australia who supports people through hard times. She presents as a calm, steady presence and aims to help clients find clearer thinking and steadier feelings. Alexandra combines counselling and coaching skills to look at what is happening now and what practical steps might help next.

She has three years of documented experience working in counselling contexts. Her work addresses stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Alexandra also pays attention to related issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, codependency, communication difficulties, and intellectual disability.

In sessions she focuses on listening carefully and helping people set small, practical goals. Conversations aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage. She values empathy, acceptance, and working at a pace the person feels comfortable with.

Her style blends clear collaboration with supportive challenge. Clients can expect to talk about patterns that keep problems stuck, and to practise different ways of coping between meetings. Alexandra frames progress as steady, real-world changes rather than quick fixes.

People curious about beginning work with her are encouraged to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire. The matching process helps connect needs and availability before scheduling sessions.

How evidence-based approaches can work online

Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to be practical and accessible. One common approach focuses on recognising and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood; it helps people spot triggers and try different responses. Another useful approach targets relationships and attachment, helping people understand connection patterns and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She listens to what has and hasn't helped before, and adjusts the plan as things move forward.

The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose settings that help them focus, or select quieter arrangements if they prefer not to use video. Alexandra will discuss practical arrangements when you match, to help sessions suit your routine and goals.
