About Alexandra
Alexandra Rubenis is an ACA counsellor based in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger and depression. Alexandra writes plainly and listens closely so people can sort out what matters most to them.
Her background mixes counselling and coaching experience. Alexandra has supported people dealing with addiction, domestic violence, personality disorder features and complex mental health concerns. She also helps with attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, communication problems and the strain of separation and divorce.
In a session she focuses on practical, step-by-step conversation. Alexandra pays attention to patterns in relationships, repeated reactions and what keeps problems going. She breaks things down into manageable tasks and checks progress together.
She works with issues such as body image, guilt and shame, emptiness and isolation, and life-purpose questions. Alexandra also supports people navigating autism, intellectual disability and multicultural stressors. Her language is direct and straightforward when discussing limits, boundaries and next steps.
People who come to Alexandra are usually looking to stop putting others first, learn to say no, or cope with someone else’s moods or crises. She asks a few clear questions at the start, outlines options, and plans the first steps with the person she is seeing.
How sessions work
Approaches for relationship patterns and online sessions
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on relationships and daily behaviour. One common approach she uses looks at attachment and how early patterns show up now; it helps people spot familiar reactions and try different ways of connecting. Another approach addresses mood and anxiety by breaking problems into small, manageable steps and practicing new responses in everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will discuss options with each person, test what fits, and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the person and the counsellor decide what to try next.
The practical benefit of online work is making sessions easier to fit into routine days. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can help when someone needs a shorter check-in, prefers not to travel, or wants to fit an appointment around work or childcare commitments.
