Reuben Alexander, NCPS

Reuben Alexander uses a mix of practical therapy methods to help people untangle difficult feelings and make changes they can live with. He offers straightforward, person-centred work that focuses on what matters now and what someone wants to move towards. Reuben draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and goals.

He has four years of clinical experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. That background is used to guide sessions rather than dictate them. Reuben aims to keep sessions clear and grounded so people can take small, manageable steps between meetings.

Common concerns Reuben supports include stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, low mood, and coping with life changes. He also helps with attention difficulties like ADHD, addiction issues, relationship and intimacy-related worries, trauma and abuse, and grief. He works with a range of other concerns such as anger, self-esteem, parenting strains, eating issues, and questions about life purpose.

Reuben mixes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to match what a person needs. Sessions are conversational and practical, with time spent on noticing patterns and trying small experiments in thinking or behaviour.

People can expect a calm, steady pace. Reuben aims to build trust and clarity so people can make choices that feel right for them. He offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and to international clients in English.

Practical therapy approaches for online working

Reuben commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and then commit to actions that align with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

He also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach can help when someone struggles with closeness, trust or repeated relationship difficulties. Reuben discusses which approaches might help most and adapts them to each person’s goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit around work breaks or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text work well for short check-ins, mood tracking or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while still working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists to make progress.
