About Alice
Alice Howard is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and eating issues. Her approach treats clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths.
Alice uses straightforward, practical conversation in sessions. She listens for what causes ongoing guilt or shame and helps people talk through specific incidents and feelings. Sessions often focus on noticing patterns, testing different ways of responding, and choosing actions that fit what matters most to the client.
Her work draws on several evidence-based approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) looks at values and how to act in line with them despite difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how relationships shape emotional responses and trust.
Alice aims to make sessions a place to tackle painful memories, confusing loyalties, and regrets without judgement. She supports people who are navigating loss, recovery from harmful coping strategies, or the fallout from past abuse. Practical steps and real-life experiments are part of the work.
People choosing to work with her should expect collaborative, down-to-earth conversation and tools they can try between sessions. She accepts international clients and offers services in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
How Alice uses different approaches online
Alice frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT is about spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours and trying small changes to test what helps. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking meaningful actions even when painful emotions are present. Both approaches can help with guilt tied to past actions and habits that people want to change.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and trust. This can be helpful for shame that comes from feeling disconnected or fearing rejection. Together these approaches give practical steps and relational perspective rather than abstract theory. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals and preferences.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow a quieter check-in when schedules are tight, or remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often find that remote sessions help people try new ways of handling guilt and shame while keeping therapy manageable alongside everyday commitments.
