About Reuben
Reuben Alexander is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, addictions and anger among other concerns. Sessions address day-to-day struggles as well as longer-standing patterns that affect relationships and wellbeing.
Reuben blends several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationships influence current reactions and emotional patterns.
In practice he keeps work straightforward. Sessions involve talking through what is happening now, noticing recurring responses, and trying out different ways of responding. That can mean learning specific strategies for managing intense feelings, practicing new communication skills, or shifting unhelpful thinking habits.
Reuben pays attention to practical life details such as sleep, routines, substance use and daily stressors. He also supports people facing grief, identity questions, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. The focus is on clear steps the client can use between sessions.
He accepts people from outside the UK and runs work in English. To begin, the service asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.
How sessions work
How Reuben uses therapeutic models in remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions towards them even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current emotional reactions and closeness with others, and it can be useful for relationship strain and patterns of anger.Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. The therapist will work with clients to test methods and agree what fits their goals and preferences. Reuben combines techniques from different models rather than using a single method, and he adapts what he tries based on what helps in early sessions.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. If you are considering online work, think about practical benefits such as fitting appointments around work or family commitments, avoiding travel time, and being able to choose shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and focus on everyday problems like sleep, stress, cravings or anger management without requiring clients to rearrange their lives.
