Alexandra Keegan, AASW

Alexandra Keegan is an AASW (Australian Association of Social Workers) credentialed counsellor based in Australia who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, loss, low self-esteem and depression. With three years of focused clinical experience, she works alongside clients to develop practical coping strategies, rebuild motivation and strengthen confidence so everyday life feels more manageable.

She creates an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly, and collaborates with each person to set realistic goals that reflect their values and circumstances. Alexandra has experience working with a broad range of concerns including autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality, communication problems, fertility issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, panic disorder and panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, self-love and young adult issues.

Alexandra draws on evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring her methods to the needs and preferences of each client. She understands that seeking support takes courage and aims to support and empower people as they take the first steps towards a more fulfilling and happier life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Alexandra commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Mindfulness Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build willingness to face difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognising and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and non-reactive attention, which can ease rumination and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Alexandra works collaboratively with clients and appropriately qualified or registered professionals to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She takes a practical, flexible stance so that therapy aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy with Alexandra is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support around work, study and family commitments. These options increase accessibility and allow clients to engage in therapy from their own environment while maintaining continuity of care when attending in-person sessions is difficult.
