With a background in Social Work, Alexandra initially gained experience as a therapist working with couples and families. In 2002 she was employed as a relationship counsellor with Relationships Australia and achieved accreditation via the Organisation’s supervisory program in 2003. These early years shaped Alexandra's passion for helping individuals and couples improve their interpersonal relationships both personally and professionally. Driven to expand her knowledge in human behaviour Alexandra became a registered psychologist in 2007, and in 2019 completed a Master of Social Science (Couple Counselling) at Swinburne University of Technology.
