Hi, I'm Reuben. As a husband, father, and someone who has faced my own mental health challenges, I deeply understand the pressures and expectations that come with being a man in today's world.
Through my own journey and professional experience, I've developed a practical, no-nonsense approach to therapy that combines deep understanding with real, actionable tools for change.
Having witnessed the transformative power of effective therapy both personally and professionally, I know that seeking help isn't just about managing symptoms—it's about building a life where you can thrive.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or just feeling stuck, I offer a space where you can speak openly without judgment, and work towards meaningful change.
My approach is straightforward: I combine evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection. As someone who's been on both sides of the therapy room, I know that the right support can be life-changing, and I'm committed to providing that same level of support to every client I work with.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
The Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) is a Christian professional membership organisation for those involved in counselling/psychotherapy and linked professions, i.e. pastoral care, coaching and spiritual direction, in the UK. The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
