About Alexandra
Alexandra Rubenis is an ACA counsellor in Australia with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Alexandra's work also covers attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, communication problems and multicultural issues.
She writes simply: people are more than a diagnosis. Conversations focus on where someone is now and on practical steps forward. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the client rather than forcing rapid change.
Alexandra has previously combined counselling and professional coaching in her work. That background informs brief, goal-focused conversations as well as longer explorations of patterns that keep causing pain. She talks through practical strategies and ways to notice triggers and responses.
Clients can expect straightforward language and an emphasis on building day-to-day skills. This includes approaches to manage rising anger, reduce overwhelm at work, rebuild trust after conflict, and cope with mood shifts. Alexandra also helps people understand attachment and how old patterns affect current relationships.
She supports people dealing with isolation, guilt and shame, life-purpose questions, and challenges linked to intellectual disability or autism. Sessions aim to turn confusing feelings into clearer steps so people can try different ways of responding.

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions fit together
Alexandra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside coaching-style conversations. One approach focuses on learning to recognise triggers and bodily signs of anger, then practising short strategies to calm down and respond differently. This helps when temper flares in relationships or at work.A second approach explores attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current reactions. That work looks at recurring communication habits and offers new ways to express needs and set boundaries in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Alexandra will work with the client to decide which techniques to try first, check in on what helps, and adjust plans based on what the client prefers and what their goals are. The aim is to be practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Session formats are not specified in the source biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is needed. They also let people try different rhythms of contact as they test what works for managing anger and stress.
