About Alice
Alice Howard is a counsellor with 16 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and eating issues. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on building on existing strengths to find workable steps forward.
Her approach is grounded in emotionally-focused ways of working and practical therapies. Sessions aim to help people notice difficult emotions, understand how those feelings shape behaviour, and try small changes that ease daily strain.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and collaborative rather than lecturing. Alice uses elements of acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and commit to actions that matter. She also draws on cognitive behavioural strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going.
Attachment-based ideas are used when early relationships influence present feelings and reactions. People who come for support often want clear, doable steps and a calm space to make sense of things. Alice offers that by listening closely and suggesting small experiments clients can try between sessions.
Her aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with life’s challenges. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged for clients inside or outside the UK. Practical details about session formats and how to start are provided on the site.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Alice uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and work with strong emotions. EFT focuses on what people feel in the moment and how those feelings shape their choices, which can be useful for grief, trauma responses, and relationship-related distress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. ACT is practical for dealing with persistent worries, urges linked to addiction, or rumination. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her work when early relationship patterns still affect current responses; it helps people understand how past bonds shape present feelings and reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs. That means approaches may be blended and adjusted as therapy progresses, with the client involved in choosing what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text or chat works for quick reflections, journalling-style notes, or when someone prefers to write rather than speak. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, travel, or different routines.
