About Alice
Alice Howard is a counsellor registered as NCPS in the United Kingdom with 16 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships or health. Her main areas include addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief and eating concerns.
Alice frames clients as experts in their own stories. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversations rather than abstract theory. She looks for ways to use people’s existing strengths to address painful patterns and make small, manageable changes.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take action even when feelings are difficult.
Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) inform how she talks about relationships and emotional responses. This can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or ongoing relationship communication problems. Client-Centred elements keep sessions paced to the person rather than a fixed agenda.
Alice has also supported people facing issues linked to adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and the challenges of alternative sex cultures. She welcomes discussion about what a useful first session would look like and how therapy might fit into everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Alice uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking value-led action. It can help when someone is unsure what matters after a life change. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and is useful for breaking unhelpful patterns like avoidance or compulsive habits.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods feel in practice. They work together to choose what seems most helpful and adjust as therapy unfolds, rather than committing to a single method from the start.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people meet from different locations, which supports international clients. Registered or accredited professionals will help plan practical arrangements for scheduling and session length.
