About Alice
Alice Howard is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss. She begins by listening and working from the client's own knowledge of their life.
Alice describes people as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical, helping clients set small, achievable steps toward change. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Her background includes many years supporting people through loss and recovery. She uses a blend of recognised approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with thoughts and feelings. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work shape how she thinks about relationships and connection.
In sessions she aims to make choices clear and manageable. Conversations focus on what matters to the client now and on practical ways to cope between appointments. She encourages simple practices to test new behaviours and track progress.
People seeking help are asked to reflect on what they want to change before a first meeting. The therapist supports each person to set goals and reviews progress together. If you are considering therapy after a distressing event or ongoing difficulty, Alice offers steady, experienced support.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Alice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking practical steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding to reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alice aims to work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on how well things are working.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that better suits someone's schedule. It can also help people keep continuity of care if they move or travel internationally. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can tailor timing and session length to fit everyday life, while keeping the work focused on practical steps and recovery.
