About Alice
Alice Howard is a counsellor with 16 years of experience who focuses on helping people facing addictions, LGBT questions, trauma and abuse, grief, and difficulties around eating. She meets people where they are and treats them as the expert in their own life. Her approach is rooted in listening first and working together to find practical ways forward.
Alice draws on Existential therapy to help people think about meaning, choice, and responsibility in their daily life.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in noticing difficult thoughts and taking action that matches their values. Attachment-based ideas inform her work with relationship patterns and how past hurts affect current connections. Sessions tend to be conversational and focused on what the person wants to change.
Alice helps clients identify small, doable steps and notices what gets in the way. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioural therapy when habits or thinking patterns are causing distress. People seeking help for grief, trauma, addiction or identity questions can expect a calm, non-judgemental tone.
Alice pays attention to practical concerns like day-to-day coping and communication problems as well as deeper questions about meaning and belonging. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. International clients are accepted and sessions can be arranged in a way that fits the person’s schedule and life commitments.

Online support
How Alice’s approaches work online
Alice blends Existential Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based ideas to meet the concerns people bring. Existential work looks at questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility and can help when life feels directionless or overwhelming. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while taking small actions that match their values, which is useful for addiction, anxiety, and avoidance. Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape trust and communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Alice works collaboratively to understand what matters most to the person and adjusts techniques to fit their goals and preferences. The emphasis is on trying things that feel achievable and reviewing what helps as therapy continues.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual connection when that helps; phone sessions are useful when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflections between sessions, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, and travel while keeping the focus on steady, goal-directed change.
