About Reuben
Reuben Alexander is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience and the NCPS credential. He works with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, coping with life changes, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem difficulties.
Reuben uses a mix of practical methods to help people notice patterns and try different responses. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-informed ways of working. Sessions focus on clear steps and simple tools rather than long lectures or jargon.
People meet to talk through what is most pressing, spot unhelpful thoughts or habits, and test alternatives in everyday life. Reuben also pays attention to early relationships and how they affect current reactions. Work can include building routines, managing urges, or improving communication skills.
He describes his work as direct and collaborative. That means setting small, achievable goals and checking progress each session. Practical exercises, short between-session tasks, and discussing what worked and what did not are common elements.
Reuben accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Reuben commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. ACT emphasises identifying values and committing to small actions that match those values, which can help with motivation, avoidance and managing urges.He also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships influence current emotional reactions and patterns in close connections. That work often involves noticing interaction habits and practising different ways of responding in everyday situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then agree a plan together. Work is collaborative and iterative - approaches may be adjusted as needs and goals become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy around work, keeping appointments when travel is difficult, or doing brief check-ins on busier weeks. Practical aims, short between-session tasks and regular progress checks are typical elements that adapt well to remote sessions.
