Reuben Alexander , NCPS

Reuben Alexander is a UK-based therapist who blends practical techniques from multiple therapeutic models to help people move forward from feelings of being stuck, anxious, or disconnected. He holds the credential NCPS, which reflects formal training and professional standing in counselling and psychotherapy, and brings four years of clinical experience to his work.

Reuben tailors sessions to each person’s circumstances, drawing on approaches that aim to illuminate how past experiences influence present patterns while building tools for day-to-day coping. His practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, parenting challenges, self-esteem, anger, and life transitions.

He acknowledges that traditional therapy can sometimes miss the mark, particularly for men, and aims to create an accepting, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings, increase self-awareness, and test new ways of relating to themselves and others. Reuben focuses on empowering clients with practical skills and insights so they can navigate obstacles and work toward a more satisfying and purposeful life.

While grounded in evidence-informed techniques, his approach is collaborative and client-centered, adapting to each person’s goals, preferences, and pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Reuben draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, while encouraging action that aligns with personal values - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and challenges with motivation and meaning. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional responses - it can be helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, and feelings of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Reuben collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so that therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Reuben is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care from a distance, integrate therapy into busy lives, and choose the mode of communication that feels most helpful for each session.
