About Alice
Alice Howard helps people who are facing addiction, trauma, grief, eating concerns and LGBT-related issues. She introduces straightforward, steady support so people can start to feel less overwhelmed. Alice speaks plainly and offers calm guidance in early conversations so parents and individuals can decide what feels right for them.
Alice has sixteen years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. She believes people are the experts of their own stories and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and everyday changes rather than jargon or long explanations. Her work draws on evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. These approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behaviour changes, and choose actions that match their values.
Attachment-based ideas are used when relationships and early experiences shape current patterns. Alice also helps people with related concerns like body image, commitment worries, communication problems, codependency and caregiver stress. She supports those affected by chronic illness, cancer, adoption and foster care issues, and experiences connected to kink and alternative sex culture.
Sessions may be arranged online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different schedules. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is used so people can pick a time that suits them.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alice will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree what to try together. That collaborative decision-making helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins, journalling-style reflections or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make it simpler to access therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
