Background and approach

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. The goal is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. With 15 years of experience, Alexandra brings a mix of psychotherapy and systemic thinking to sessions.

She explains ideas in everyday language and checks in about what is useful. People often leave with a short plan they can put into practice straight away. She holds PACFA as a credential, which is listed on her profile.

Alexandra works with common difficulties like stress, low self-worth, sleep or eating disruptions, career setbacks, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses themes such as abandonment, attachment questions, and communication problems. Sessions are offered in English and German and are available online in Australia.

Alexandra encourages an open conversation at the first meeting to agree on goals and steps that suit each person.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions because it focuses on values and small, practical steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches tools to test and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. This approach suits stress, worry and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current closeness and conflict. It is helpful for intimacy issues, communication problems and feelings of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then blend methods that fit. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
