About Alice
Alice Howard is a counsellor with sixteen years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with addictions, LGBT-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief and eating concerns. She works with each person as an individual and treats them as the expert on their own life.
Alice believes taking the first step toward change takes real courage. She offers steady support while people figure out what they want to change.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps as well as noticing how the body and emotions respond to stress. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as attachment issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency and communication problems. Alice draws on both talk-based methods and body-aware techniques to help people manage overwhelming feelings and habitual patterns.
Alice holds NCPS, which is shown as a credential. Her approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas, alongside somatic work that pays attention to bodily experience. She adapts methods to the person rather than following a single formula.
People can expect a calm, straightforward style in sessions. Alice aims to make practical changes feel possible and sustainable. She supports clients as they build new habits and cope with setbacks along the way.
Approaches that work well online and in the body
Somatic work pays attention to bodily sensations and physical patterns that link to emotion. It helps people notice how tension, posture or breath relate to stress and provides simple ways to ground or shift those sensations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and small changes in behaviour. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current ways of connecting and reacting, and it can help people build safer ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match personal needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative approach means techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for working with these approaches. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and somatic observation, phone sessions suit people who prefer voice contact, and live chat or text messaging provide short, steady support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life and to continue work across different settings and time zones.
