About Reuben

Reuben Alexander is a counsellor who blends practical techniques from several approaches to help men with everyday struggles. He focuses on reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and managing stress. He also supports people dealing with depression, addiction, ADHD and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.

Reuben combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas in sessions. He aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, make values-based choices and build steadier relationships. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than overly clinical.

With four years of experience, Reuben brings a steady, straightforward style. He invites people to talk through loss, trauma, fatherhood issues, or feelings of emptiness and guilt. He also addresses specific concerns such as eating struggles, anger and self-esteem difficulties.

Reuben uses a client-centred stance that emphasises listening and understanding. He helps clients work through attachment wounds, communication problems and jealousy by exploring how past relationships shape current reactions. Practical exercises and experiment-style tasks are often part of the work.

People can expect short-term goal setting alongside longer-term exploration when needed. Reuben supports life transitions and work on purpose, forgiveness and control issues. He accepts clients from the United Kingdom and international enquiries are welcomed.

How Reuben’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and trying small experiments to change them. It often helps with sleep, depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connections and helps people change repetitive relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods might suit a person best. That decision is made together and can be reviewed as progress is tracked.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help sustain regular contact while they work on values, routines and practical strategies.
