About Alice
Alice Howard is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 16 years of professional experience. She focuses on addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and related challenges. Alice frames clients as experts in their own stories and works alongside them to address difficult moments in early adulthood.
Alice uses straightforward talking and practical skills in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people spot useful strengths they already have. Conversations can cover coping strategies for cravings, processing traumatic memories, handling bereavement, and navigating identity or relationship stresses.
Her background includes many years supporting adults through life changes and losses. She draws on evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to offer options that suit different needs. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy also inform her work when relationship patterns are important.
Sessions aim to be collaborative. Alice helps people set clear, manageable goals and checks in on what is working. She explains tools and practices in everyday language so they can be used outside sessions.
People often come to talk about feeling stuck after leaving home, pressures around early careers, loneliness, or struggling with body image and eating. Alice also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption or foster-care histories, and long-term health or caregiving stresses.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Alice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small, practical steps toward them. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while committing to actions that matter, which can help with addiction, low mood and feeling stuck.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, change habits and improve daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alice will discuss options and help decide what fits best based on a person’s goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and she will check in and adapt methods as therapy progresses.
