About Alexandra
Alexandra Spartels is a counsellor with 11 years of professional experience in Australia. She supports people facing anxiety, relationship strain, grief and the ongoing effects of trauma. She aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Alexandra works alongside clients to identify what matters most to them and to build steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
She uses methods that focus on emotions, values and processing difficult memories so people can feel less stuck. Sessions usually involve talking about recent events and patterns from the past. Alexandra helps people notice unhelpful behaviours and create small changes that fit daily life.
She also offers tools for managing anger, stress and low mood so coping feels more manageable. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, the Gottman Method and hypnotherapy as part of a tailored plan. Alexandra explains options and adapts the work to each person’s goals and pace.
People who come for help often want clearer communication, fewer overwhelm days and better emotional balance. Alexandra focuses on practical steps and steady progress. She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a person’s routine.
Approaches that suit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes by teaching practical skills to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and shifting emotional patterns that affect relationships and connection. It helps people communicate needs and respond differently in close relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with distressing memories by using guided eye movements and other bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of past events and their emotional charge.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they pick and adapt methods so the work matches the client’s needs rather than applying a single fixed approach.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video suits in-depth conversations and EMDR work that benefits from visual contact. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or messaging are useful for short check-ins, practice of new skills and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular contact with appropriately qualified therapists.
