About Reuben
Reuben Alexander is a NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, parenting pressures and relationship difficulties. He also supports people facing addiction, trauma, grief and intimacy-related concerns.
Reuben uses a mix of approaches to help people understand how the past shapes the present. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as personal reflection. He helps clients notice patterns such as attachment difficulties, control struggles or problems with communication, and then try different ways of responding.
He draws on methods that encourage acceptance of difficult feelings while supporting clearer action. Cognitive Behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test small changes. Emotionally-Focused ideas are brought in to look at how emotions and connection affect relationships.
Reuben also works with themes that come up around fatherhood, family of origin issues and identity questions such as gender dysphoria. He pays attention to problems linked to impulsivity, addictive behaviour and eating concerns, offering practical strategies alongside reflective work.
Sessions are aimed at adults wanting straightforward help with day-to-day life and home relationships. Reuben welcomes people who are trying to manage life changes, repair important connections, or simply find steadier ways of coping.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck from unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating developed in earlier relationships and how they affect current connections. It can be useful for relationship strain, fatherhood concerns and attachment-related worries.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide with the client which approach or mix of approaches fits best. This is a collaborative conversation based on the person’s goals, preferences and the issues they bring.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can also adapt pace and tasks so the work fits around everyday routines.
