About Reuben
Reuben Alexander is a counsellor who blends practical therapeutic approaches to help people feeling stuck, anxious or disconnected. He uses clear, down-to-earth language and short, focused sessions to help clients talk through current problems and build coping skills. Reuben holds NCPS as a credential and works from the United Kingdom.
He draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions look at how thoughts, feelings and relationships affect everyday life. Reuben helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and practise new ways of reacting. Common concerns he addresses include stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, depression, grief and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
He also supports people facing addiction, anger, parenting strain, self-esteem difficulties and life transitions. Additional foci include attachment wounds, fatherhood issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome related challenges, and questions about life purpose. Reuben aims to make therapy straightforward and collaborative.
He invites people to set goals and reviews progress together. Practical tools and short homework tasks are used when helpful to reinforce learning between sessions. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
The format is adaptable to individual needs, using video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine and circumstances.
How Reuben’s approaches work online
Reuben commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which helps with anxiety, depression and questions about life purpose. CBT looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like worry, sleep disruption or anger.He also draws on Attachment-Based and client-centred ideas to understand relationship patterns and increase emotional understanding. These approaches help when intimacy, trust or family-of-origin issues are central. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - the therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
