About Alice
Alice Howard is a counsellor with 16 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical support for people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, grief, and LGBT-related issues. She meets people where they are and treats them as the expert in their own story.
Taking the first step feels hard, and she aims to make that step easier and less isolating. Alice combines Jungian ideas with approaches that focus on values and present-day coping.
Background and approach
Sessions often look at patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings, and then shift toward small, usable changes. She uses Acceptence and Commitment Therapy to help clarify what matters to someone and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Her style is warm and direct.
She listens closely, asks straightforward questions, and co-designs practical steps clients can try between sessions. The work can include talking, reflective exercises, and real-life experiments to test new ways of coping. This helps people notice small shifts that make daily life easier.
Alice also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships shape current worries and patterns. That perspective can help when dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or difficulties with intimacy. The aim is to build steadier ways of relating to self and others.
She supports people with a wide range of related concerns, including body image, codependency, communication problems, chronic illness, and the stresses of caregiving. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Online support
How Alice’s approaches translate to online therapy
Alice uses Jungian ideas that pay attention to personal stories and recurring life patterns. That approach helps when someone wants to understand deeper themes in dreams, imagery, or repeating relationship patterns, and it can be adapted to conversation and reflective exercises online.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and small, actionable steps. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and try simple behaviour changes, useful for issues like addiction, grief, and eating concerns. Attachment-based work explores how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and closeness, and it can guide practical changes in how someone relates to others.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant, try methods in sessions, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients are invited to share preferences and goals so the work fits their life.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats - video calls for in-depth conversation, phone sessions when video is difficult, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to work around work, caregiving, travel, or differing energy levels while still using the same therapeutic approaches.
