Reuben Alexander, NCPS

Reuben Alexander uses a blend of practical talking therapies to help people who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts, try small behaviour changes, and move toward what matters to them. Reuben presents himself plainly and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first meeting.

He brings four years of clinical experience to appointments and carries the NCPS credential. That background informs short-term strategies for stress, sleep and anxiety, and longer work on patterns that keep people stuck. He often helps people address relationship strains, intimacy-related concerns, jealousy, grief and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse.

In sessions Reuben listens without judging and encourages practical steps between meetings. He uses client-centred conversation to build understanding, then introduces techniques from ACT and CBT when they fit. He also draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.

Reuben supports people dealing with addictions, ADHD, anger, low self-esteem and parenting pressures. He is familiar with issues around gender dysphoria, autism and family of origin problems, and explores these sensitively at a pace the person wants.

Sessions are held in English and he works with clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. He asks new people to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session so he can understand goals and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Reuben often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. ACT encourages people to notice painful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce worry and improve sleep.

He also uses Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current connections and reactions. That approach can be helpful for people dealing with jealousy, intimacy issues and difficulties with trust.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Reuben will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape what happens from session to session so the plan feels manageable and relevant.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, avoid travel time and maintain continuity when circumstances change. Different ways of meeting can also suit shorter check-ins or slower-paced explorations depending on what the person needs.
