Alice Howard , NCPS

Alice Howard offers calm, practical support for people facing difficult life changes. She listens first and helps each person clarify what matters most. Her approach is direct and warm, aimed at small steps that make everyday life easier.

Alice draws on 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and eating difficulties. She also helps address issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, codependency and communication problems.

In sessions Alice treats the person, not just the problem. Conversations focus on real situations - what happens at work, at home or in relationships - and on practical ways to respond. She invites clients to notice strengths they already have and to try different choices in small, manageable ways.

Her methods include approaches that explore values, thoughts and emotions. She uses techniques that help people understand patterns that keep them stuck and then test new behaviours. Therapy aims to build clearer goals and more useful habits rather than quick fixes.

Alice accepts international clients and works in English. People who want to begin choose a simple online matching process to set up their first appointment. The tone in sessions is straightforward and supportive, with an emphasis on steady progress and clearer direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Alice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take actions that match what matters most. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and choosing steps that lead to a more meaningful life.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand patterns from early relationships that affect current connections. This approach supports learning new ways of relating and resolving long-standing emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alice will discuss what matters to the client, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and focused on practical changes the client can use day to day.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat suits brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel while keeping the focus on steady, achievable progress.
