About Alexandra

Alexandra Spartels is a PACFA-credentialed therapist practising in Australia with 11 years of professional experience. PACFA refers to the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia, indicating a recognised standard of training and practice within the country. Alexandra has focused her work on supporting people through relationship difficulties, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, bereavement and loss, and challenges with anger. She aims to help clients find ways to cope with life changes and to process difficult emotions in a measured, compassionate way.

In sessions Alexandra fosters an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly. She works collaboratively with each person to understand their situation and to develop practical strategies that align with their values and goals. Taking the step to begin therapy can require courage, and Alexandra acknowledges and supports that first move toward change. She is committed to helping clients build resilience and clarity as they navigate personal and relational challenges.

Integrating therapeutic approaches in online care

Alexandra draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as core approaches in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying actions that align with their values - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotional responses in relationships and strengthening connection and communication between partners or family members - it can help with relationship conflict and intimacy-related issues. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma processing is required; EMDR supports the reprocessing of distressing memories to reduce their intensity and the distress they cause.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexandra works collaboratively with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and to choose or blend methods that fit their situation. This helps create a tailored plan that can evolve as work progresses.

Online therapy with Alexandra is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and allow therapy to fit into busy lives or circumstances where in-person visits are difficult.
