About Alice
Alice Howard is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and eating difficulties. She starts by listening to each person’s story and recognising their strengths before planning practical steps forward.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build small, manageable habits. Sessions emphasise clear tools and steady progress rather than jargon or complex theory.
Alice frames the work around what matters most to the person sitting in the room. She helps people clarify values, spot patterns in thinking, and try new behaviours that fit their life. She also pays attention to relationships and how early connections can shape current struggles.
Over 16 years she has supported people through loss, identity questions, and recovery from addictive behaviours. Her style is calm and practical, aiming to make therapy useful day-to-day. She encourages small experiments between sessions to build confidence and momentum.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, clear suggestions to try, and a focus on what matters to them. To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect with her practice and arrange sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Alice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and committing to meaningful steps forward.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for tackling anxious thinking, low mood, and habits that cause problems. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships influence current feelings and relational patterns, which can be helpful for trust and connection issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and how a method feels in practice, then adapt the plan as needed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel, or family commitments. They also let people choose quieter or shorter check-ins when needed and reduce time spent travelling, which can help therapy feel more manageable alongside everyday life.
