About Alice
Alice Howard is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people dealing with addictions, LGBT-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and eating concerns. She believes people know their own stories and already have strengths to draw on. Alice offers steady support while someone takes the first steps toward change.
Her way of working combines practical talking and structured tools. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centred techniques to help people notice what matters to them and change small patterns that cause pain. Sessions often involve clear steps and gentle reflection rather than long lectures.
Alice also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationships and past bonds are central to the issue. That helps when feelings of abandonment, attachment difficulties, or complex trauma are involved. She pays attention to emotional patterns that repeat across relationships.
Her wider practice includes supporting people with body image issues, codependency, communication problems, bereavement, chronic illness and other life stresses. She aims to make sessions practical and relevant to everyday life, with simple strategies to try between meetings.
People who contact Alice can expect a collaborative tone. She asks questions, listens, and offers options. The goal is to find steps that fit each person's life and priorities.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Alice commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people change unhelpful interaction patterns. Client-Centred Therapy creates a non-judgemental space where the person’s perspective leads the conversation and choices are respected.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alice will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods together to see what helps. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time to match changing needs.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt exercises, worksheets and conversations so online sessions remain practical and focused on everyday change.
