About Alexandra

Alexandra Rubenis is a Level 3 Counsellor based in Australia who brings three years of professional experience to her practice and holds the ACA credential. She approaches each person as a whole individual rather than a label, offering respect and dignity while working through life’s most difficult moments. Alexandra specialises in support for stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression, and she also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness, guilt and shame, intellectual disability, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, mood disorders, and multicultural concerns.

Her style is grounded in empathy, acceptance and collaboration, with an emphasis on truly hearing where a person is at and moving at their pace. Alexandra aims to empower people to build resilience, increase clarity and take meaningful steps toward healing and self-discovery. She offers a steady, nonjudgemental presence and works alongside clients to identify practical strategies and insights that support lasting change.

Alexandra believes that no one has to face difficult times alone, and she focuses on helping people find strength, calm and greater wellbeing as they progress through therapy.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Alexandra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to each person’s needs. She uses trauma-informed approaches to help people process difficult experiences and build safety and stability, which can be especially helpful for those affected by past abuse or traumatic events. She also works with attachment-focused methods that explore patterns in relationships and support healthier connection and communication. These approaches aim to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning by focusing on practical skills, emotional understanding and relational repair.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Alexandra works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their goals, preferences and circumstances, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and new needs emerge. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access support from home or other convenient locations, and they allow ongoing work between sessions. Alexandra and appropriately qualified or registered professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care while tailoring sessions to what works best for each person.
