About Alice

Alice Howard helps people work through addictions, LGBT-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and eating concerns using a person-centred style and practical therapies. She is registered with NCPS and has 16 years of professional experience in the UK.

Alice works in a way that treats the person as the expert in their own life. She listens for strengths and builds on them. Sessions focus on what matters now and what a person wants to change or understand.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to notice difficult thoughts and keep acting on their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours to find useful changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns that started in relationships and how they affect current reactions.

In practical terms, Alice uses conversations to test out new ways of thinking and responding. She helps people set manageable steps and reviews progress together. This can include working through past hurts, managing cravings, or handling mourning and body image worries.

Alice has worked in the field for 16 years and brings that experience to sessions in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Booking starts with a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling a first session.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Alice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them, which can be useful for grief, eating concerns and addiction-related urges. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at relationship patterns and how early experiences shape current responses, helpful when trauma or attachment issues are discussed.

She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s perspective and strengths rather than fitting them to a fixed model. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative: the counsellor and client review what is working and adjust methods to suit goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of working remotely can include fitting sessions around work or family routines, avoiding travel time, and using shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and homework to online sessions so progress is easier to track and bring into everyday life.
