Testimonials

From our first session, Reuben created a safe space where I was able to discuss openly and without judgement my difficulties. The therapeutic approach he used not only helped me understand the root causes of my anxiety but also gave me practical tools to manage it.

Client

I have had a history of health anxiety, and this was the driving cause of my worry when I initially reached out to Reuben. My conversations with him helped to not only diffuse my anxiety, but they also provided me with a better understanding of how to address the fear beneath it. Through him and the tools he introduced to me, I was able to approach these phobic thoughts and fears head on, and I am grateful that they no longer trouble me.

Client

Having had the opportunity to work alongside Reuben, I know how thoughtful, sensitive and insightful his work with clients is. I recommend him very highly indeed.

A bit about me and how I work.

As a husband, father, and someone who has faced my own mental health challenges, I deeply understand the pressures and expectations we face in today’s world.

Through my own experience and professional training, I’ve developed a practical, no-nonsense approach to therapy, one that focuses on understanding what’s really going on and giving you real tools to address it.

I’ve experienced what effective therapy can do, it can get you to a place where you can actually thrive rather than just manage your symptoms.

Whatever you’re dealing with, whether it’s anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or just feeling stuck, I offer a space where you can speak openly and without judgment.

My approach is straightforward. I use evidence-based methods, but I work with the whole person. As someone who’s been on both sides of the therapy room, I know what the right support can do, and I’m committed to bringing that to everyone I work with.

I trained to Master’s level in Counselling and hold a BPsych. I’m registered with the BACP and NCPS, both at accredited level. Most of my work sits with anxiety and OCD. I’ve seen what changes when someone gets a clear picture of what’s been driving the problem, and that’s what I’m working toward with most of the people I see.

I draw on CBT, psychodynamic therapy, Gestalt, and relational approaches. What I use depends on the person.

Some common questions.

It’s a 20-minute call. You tell me a bit about what’s going on, I explain how I work, and we figure out whether it feels like a good fit. There’s no pressure to book anything.
It’s different for everyone. I usually recommend starting with 6 sessions, but you can stop at any point. Some clients have worked with me for 50 or more sessions, but most people find they’re in a good place somewhere between 6 and 12.
Most of my work is online via video call, and for a lot of people it’s easier to talk from their own space. Twice a year I open up in-person sessions in Eastbourne, England for a few weeks — for somatic therapy, TRE, and in-person check-ins with existing clients. Get in touch if you’d like to know when the next availability is.
Yes. The standard legal exceptions apply, such as serious risk of harm, and I’ll explain those clearly before we start.
I draw on CBT, psychodynamic therapy, Gestalt, and relational approaches. In practice that means the work is led by what’s useful for the specific person, not by a fixed model.
Yes. That’s what the free consultation is for. You don’t need to have decided anything before you get in touch.

Most people wait longer than they should.

The free consultation is free and there’s no obligation. It’s twenty minutes to see if it feels right.
