About Reuben

Reuben Alexander is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who blends several practical therapies to help people find clearer ways forward. He draws on straightforward methods to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address trauma and abuse. Reuben explains things plainly and focuses on what can change now.

He uses tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small experiments in everyday life.

Background and approach

Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current connections and feelings. Emotionally-Focused and client-centred approaches guide conversations about difficult emotions and personal values. Reuben works with a wide range of concerns, including low mood, sleeping problems, addiction and compulsive behaviours, anger, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.

He also supports people dealing with grief, life changes, ADHD, and issues such as abandonment or family of origin problems. He holds the NCPS credential and has four years of experience working with adults in the UK. Sessions are offered in English and Reuben accepts international clients.

His manner is direct but empathetic, aimed at helping people build practical coping skills. Typical sessions focus on setting clear goals, learning small skills to test between meetings, and talking through difficult feelings. Reuben encourages collaborative work so people can shape therapy to their needs and values.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and when decisions feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and emotional reactions; it can help with intimacy, trust and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and testing new ways of responding to decrease symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor and client will discuss goals, preferences and what does or does not help. They may combine elements from different methods and adjust over time so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit around work, family and travel. Video calls are close to face-to-face contact and work well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, step-by-step skill building, and people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and practise new skills between sessions.
