About Reuben
Reuben Alexander offers a gentle, person-centred way of working that starts with listening. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected and aims to build understanding before moving to practical change. Reuben uses a mix of conversational work and tools that fit each person’s needs, keeping sessions straightforward and goal-focused.
He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person in front of him and on cognitive and emotion-focused ideas when helpful. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-aware approaches also shape his work, depending on the issue. This means sessions can include noticing difficult thoughts, exploring relationship patterns, and trying small, practical steps between meetings.
Reuben has four years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, life transitions, ADHD and addictions. He also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, anger, self-esteem and eating and parenting worries.
Additional interests include abandonment and attachment issues, family of origin themes, fatherhood, gender dysphoria, autism and Asperger syndrome, and concerns such as control, impulsivity and jealousy. He offers a non-judgemental space to talk through these matters and to build clearer direction.
Reuben is based in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. Sessions are carried out in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How counselling approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are, helping people feel heard and understood before making changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based ideas look at patterns from early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together decide which combination of methods to use. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around daily life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins between commitments or to meet when schedules are tight. Session formats are not listed in the biography here, so it is best to confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep continuity of care when life is busy or they are in a different location.
