About Reuben

Reuben Alexander is a counsellor who blends practical therapies to help people untangle anxiety and stressful patterns. He works with individuals who feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed and uses straightforward tools to help them make small, steady changes.

His approach borrows from several methods so sessions can be tailored to what a person needs. Reuben helps people look at how past experiences affect today, how thoughts keep problems going, and what matters most to them moving forward.

He aims for simple, practical conversations rather than jargon. Sessions focus on recognising feelings, learning new ways to respond, and trying out things that build confidence and calm. He will often use exercises that people can practise between meetings.

Reuben has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. He works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including to people outside the UK.

Many people come for help with anxiety, panic, sleep problems, low mood, or difficulties after trauma and loss. He also supports those facing relationship strain, addictions, identity questions, parenting stresses, and struggles with self-esteem and purpose.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It often uses simple exercises to build more meaningful day-to-day choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, closeness and feeling safer in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try approaches that fit the person’s needs. That collaboration makes it easier to adapt methods if something is not working.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and keep regular contact during stressful periods. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and can support steady practice of techniques between sessions.
