About Alice
Alice Howard is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on supporting people dealing with addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and eating issues. She starts from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work ahead.
Taking the first step towards change can feel hard, and she aims to provide steady support through that early stage.
Background and approach
Her approach blends practical therapies with a warm, person-focused stance. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and commit to values-driven action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test them with small experiments.
Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas shape how she pays attention to close relationships and emotional needs. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person. She listens first, then helps set clear goals and simple steps to try between appointments.
Conversations can cover coping strategies, relationship patterns, and ways to manage cravings or intense emotions. Her work also addresses a wider range of life stresses such as body image, chronic illness, caregiving strain, adoption and foster care questions, and communication problems. She accepts clients from outside the UK and holds the NCPS credential.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Alice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and addictive urges by teaching skills to stay connected to what matters.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early and close relationships shape emotion and behaviour. This approach helps when relationship patterns, trust, or attachment needs are part of the issue. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her style too, offering a listening stance that prioritises the person’s own perspective and pace.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different ways of working, then agree a plan to try. That collaborative process allows adjustments as the work progresses.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to support many of the same goals as face-to-face work, while keeping the focus on practical steps, emotion regulation, and relationship patterns.
