About Reuben

Reuben Alexander is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who blends several practical therapy styles to help people move forward. He combines clear tools with thoughtful listening to address day-to-day struggles and more painful life events. Reuben aims to make sessions straightforward and relevant to everyday life.

He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These methods are used flexibly to suit different problems, from low mood and anxiety to relationship and intimacy-related worries. Reuben draws on four years of experience and holds NCPS, which is shown as his listed credential.

People come for help with stress, sleeping difficulties, grief, addiction concerns and coping with life changes. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, trauma and abuse, eating issues, anger, self-esteem and parenting strain. Additional focus areas noted include abandonment, attachment issues, fatherhood questions and family of origin concerns.

Sessions aim to identify what matters to the individual and then practise steps to move in that direction. Expect a mix of talking, noticing patterns and trying small changes between sessions. Reuben describes his style as non-judgemental and direct, with attention to both past experiences and present challenges.

He welcomes people who want to understand themselves better and build practical skills. If you are looking for a therapist who balances empathy with pragmatic techniques, his approach is designed to help you take steady steps forward.

How Reuben uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small actions that fit those values; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and then testing different ways of responding to reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection and trust, which can help with intimacy, attachment worries and relationship struggles.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different techniques. Together they choose which methods to try and review progress as sessions continue.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different ways of working - more practical exercises, focused skill-building or longer reflective conversations - depending on what suits their life and goals.
