Alice Howard

Alice Howard works with people who feel stuck by addiction, trauma, grief, eating difficulties or LGBT-related challenges. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps less heavy. Alice believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths that can help them move forward.

She brings 16 years of experience in therapeutic practice across a range of concerns. Her way of working is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on practical conversation, noticing patterns, and trying small changes between meetings.

Alice uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She draws on Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centred ways of working when they fit the person and the issue. This mix lets her match methods to what a person needs rather than following one rigid method.

In sessions she encourages clear goals and simple steps. People can expect to talk about how habits and feelings show up day to day, and to practise new responses between sessions. The pace and focus are set together, so work is shaped around what each person wants to change.

Alice is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. She accepts international clients and approaches therapy with practical care for the realities of everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Alice commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that matter to them, which can be useful for addiction and grief. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current ways of relating, helping with attachment issues and relationship distress. Client-Centred therapy offers a warm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and agenda.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Alice will work together with each person to decide which combination of methods feels most helpful for their goals and situation. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adapting as work progresses.

Practical benefits of online work often include fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, please confirm what formats are offered before booking. The focus will be on making sessions workable around everyday life while using therapeutic techniques that suit each person's needs.
