About Reuben

Reuben Alexander is a counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical, evidence-informed methods. He aims to help people who feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected find clearer ways forward. Reuben speaks English and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

He holds an NCPS credential and has four years of clinical experience. Reuben blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful patterns, naming difficult emotions, and testing small changes that feel doable.

Background and approach

He keeps language straightforward and works at a pace that suits each person. Many people come for help with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, coping with life changes, ADHD concerns, addictions, and relationship or intimacy difficulties. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, and low self-esteem.

Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin matters, and questions about life purpose. In sessions Reuben uses client-centred listening to build understanding and then draws on CBT or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to try new ways of responding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to help identify and shift patterns that keep people feeling stuck.

That mix lets work be practical and emotionally grounded. Practical details are offered clearly at first contact. Reuben offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Costs vary with location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

How emotion-focused and practical therapies work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and change patterns in emotional responses that leave them feeling stuck or disconnected. It focuses on recognising core emotions, understanding how they shape reactions, and trying new, more helpful ways of relating to oneself and others.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and to act in line with personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes by building psychological flexibility. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people form different ways of relating when attachment wounds are getting in the way.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. You can review progress together and adapt the plan as needs change.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and messaging allows short check-ins or reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and help people maintain continuity of care when life is busy or travel is difficult.
