About Alice
Alice Howard is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and eating issues. Her practice also includes a wide range of related concerns such as attachment issues, blended family issues, body image and communication problems.
Alice starts by listening to each person’s story and noticing the strengths they already bring. She treats clients as the expert on their own life and works with them to decide what to try next. Sessions are straightforward and practical, focusing on what is most pressing for the person in front of her.
Her approach draws from several psychological methods. She uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns and try out different ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform how she looks at relationships and emotional reactions.
Alice pays particular attention to relationship dynamics that affect daily life in blended households. She can help people think through new routines, loyalty tensions, and co-parenting friction without taking sides. Her work is aimed at clear, manageable steps people can use between sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients may be accepted. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Alice combines a few well-established methods to help people manage difficult feelings and relationship strain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing painful thoughts without being controlled by them and then committing to actions that matter, which can help with addictions and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviours, which many people find useful for grief, eating concerns and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions today and can be helpful when trust or closeness feels difficult.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Alice treats the choice of method as collaborative. She will discuss goals, try approaches in session, and adjust plans based on what actually helps the person over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals often find that remote meetings support continuity of care and practical access, while the therapist and client agree on the rhythm and structure that suit their routine.
