About Alice

Alice Howard offers calm, practical support for people facing addiction, trauma, grief and LGBT-related concerns. She works from the view that clients know their stories best and brings 16 years of experience to help them find what works. The first step can feel big, and she aims to make it manageable and straightforward.

Her sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. She uses approaches that help people notice thoughts and feelings, strengthen important relationships, and build practical skills for day-to-day life. Conversations balance direct problem-solving with time to reflect on deeper patterns and values.

Alice holds NCPS, which is listed as her credential. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She works with a wide range of concerns beyond her main specialties, including body image, attachment issues, chronic illness and communication problems.

In the room she aims to listen first, then help clients set small, clear goals. Typical steps include clarifying what a client wants to change, trying out new behaviours, and reviewing what helps or gets in the way. She encourages practical exercises between sessions to build momentum.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It focuses on values and actions rather than trying to eliminate awkward thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns in thinking and behaviour and offers practical exercises to test new ways of coping. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, then try methods that suit the person's needs. Sessions often mix learning, practise and reflection so the client and therapist can adjust what they do next.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it easier to keep continuity when circumstances change, while still focusing on practical exercises and relationship patterns that matter.
