Additionally, she competed in the European Championship, finishing in 26th place. Golovkina won her third Lithuanian Championship title.
2020–21 season
The 2020-21 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the same year, Aleksandra decided to relocate to Dundee, Scotland, and train there.
2021–22 season
At the start of the 2021-22 season, Golovkina again competed at the Tayside Trophy competition in Dundee, Scotland, where she finished in 4th place. Later in the season, she competed in the European Championship in Tallinn, Estonia and advanced to the free program. She finished in overall 21st place.

Golovkina began her season by participating in the 2023 Nepela Memorial, where she finished in 11th place. A few weeks later, she won the Tayside Trophy with a score of 151.23. Later in the same month, she placed second at the Swiss Ice Skating Open 2023.
At the Warsaw Cup 2023 in Poland, Golovkina set a new overall personal best of 158.67, as well as a new personal best in the free skate.

In the same month, just before Christmas, Golovkina competed in the Lithuanian Figure Skating Championship, finishing in second place behind Meda Variakojyte. However, as Golovkina had the better overall results, she was still chosen to represent Lithuania at the 2024 European Figure Skating Championships.[2] This was the first time in her senior career that she did not win a gold medal at the national championships.
At the beginning of 2024, Golovkina took part in the European Figure Skating Championships, which were held in her home country, Lithuania, in the city of Kaunas. Despite a leg injury limiting her on-ice training time and a fall on her second jump,[3] she qualified for the free program in 14th place and set a new personal best for the short program. In the free program, she finished 16th and was also 16th overall in the competition.
