About Alice
Alice Howard is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and eating issues. She encourages clients to use their own strengths and stories as the basis for change and offers steady support through difficult moments.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first and works with people to identify practical steps they can try between sessions. Alice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take manageable actions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours that make daily life harder.
Alice values attachment-informed thinking when relationships and early experiences shape current struggles. She combines that with client-centred ways of working so people feel heard and understood while making changes. This mix is often used with those coping with abandonment, attachment difficulties, or adoption and foster care matters.
Across sessions she emphasises small, realistic goals and compassionate self-reflection. People who come to her can expect clear, plain explanations and practical tools to try at home. The tone is encouraging, with room to move at a pace that suits each person.
She works from the United Kingdom and offers support in English. For people based outside the UK, international arrangements are possible; confirm details when booking.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Alice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small, doable steps toward those values. ACT often focuses on reducing unhelpful avoidance and building meaningful action even when emotions are difficult.She also works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT offers straightforward exercises and experiments people can try between sessions to test new ways of coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alice will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person's goals, needs, and preferences. The process is collaborative, so adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also make shorter focused sessions easier to arrange, or let people choose quieter times around work or caregiving commitments.
