About Alexandra
Alexandra Spartels is a counsellor with 11 years of professional experience in Australia. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression and problems with anger. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and honours the courage it takes to begin.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps that can be used between meetings, as well as slower work to make sense of painful events.
Background and approach
Alexandra listens for patterns that keep clients stuck and looks for small changes that can make daily life easier. Her background includes work with family conflict, communication problems, codependency and issues that stem from family of origin. Alexandra also supports people facing intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, career questions and compassion fatigue.
She can help when guilt, shame or dissociation get in the way of functioning. Alexandra draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs. She uses emotion-focused methods to deepen connection to feelings and ACT techniques to build values-based action.
She also integrates EMDR and hypnotherapy when appropriate to address traumatic memories. Her sessions are straightforward and down-to-earth. Alexandra explains therapy in simple language, sets clear goals with clients, and reviews progress regularly so people know what is changing.

Online support
Online approaches for trauma and relationship work
Alexandra often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name feelings, improve emotional connection and resolve relationship patterns. EFT is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication keeps breaking down.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that fit those values. ACT can help when avoidance, anxiety or low mood stop someone from living the life they want. When traumatic memories are central, Alexandra may integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to reduce the intensity of those memories and their emotional impact.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, explain what to expect from each method and tailor the plan to the client's needs, goals and preferences. Clients are encouraged to ask questions and shape therapy as it proceeds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy adaptable. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats increase flexibility and make regular work on goals more achievable.
