About Alice
Alice Howard is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has 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-related issues. She helps clients through practical, conversational work rather than complex jargon.
Alice starts by listening to each person’s story and looking for strengths that can be built on. She treats clients as the expert on their own lives and helps them notice patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions focus on naming emotions, understanding relationships, and learning small changes that make daily life easier.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with emotions that are hard to name. She also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support clearer thinking and workable strategies. These methods are used together to help with relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and emotional reactions.
Over 16 years she has worked with a wide range of issues linked to attachment and identity. That includes abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, body image and eating concerns, and communication problems. She also offers support around chronic illness, caregiver stress and cancer related worries.
Alice accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so initial sessions can focus on priorities and practical next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and sit with emotions that feel confusing or overwhelming. It is often used when relationship patterns or attachment worries keep repeating and causing distress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without trying to fight them, then choosing actions that match personal values. This approach can help with addictions, grief, and difficult coping habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as work progresses.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people connect across borders, which suits those living outside the therapist's country. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements during the matching and scheduling steps.
