About me
I work mainly with professional men in their 30s who are outwardly functioning but inwardly struggling, often with anxiety, stress, sadness, or a sense of being stuck that’s hard to explain. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, yet feel constantly on edge or low despite things appearing fine on the surface.
People often come to see me when pushing through on their own no longer seems to help. You may understand what’s going on intellectually, but still feel tense, flat, or quietly unhappy day to day, without a clear sense of how to shift it.
My aim as a therapist is to help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, so you can feel more grounded, understood, and at ease with yourself.
How I work
I offer a calm, steady space where you don’t have to perform or have things figured out. I’ll listen closely, ask questions that help you explore your experience, and offer reflections or new perspectives when they feel useful. We’ll work at your pace, for as little or as long as you need.
My training is in integrative therapy, which means I can draw on different ways of working depending on your needs and preferences. Sometimes we might focus on what’s happening in the present. At other times, it can be useful to explore the past, if this feels helpful for you. I often draw on attachment theory as a way to understand how early relationships continue to shape how we experience emotions, closeness, and ourselves in adult life.
Practicalities
I provide face-to-face sessions from my therapy room on Kingsland Road, Hackney (near Haggerston station), and also work online.
Sessions last 50 minutes and cost £75.
If you’d like to get a sense of what working together might be like, I offer a free 20-minute phone call or Google Meet session. It’s simply an opportunity to talk a little about what’s been going on for you, ask any questions, and see how it feels to speak with me.
You can reach me at counselling@reubenheller.co.uk to arrange this.

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.
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.
