Background and approach

Together they set small, realistic steps that build momentum and change. Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods to suit each person's needs. Cognitive-behavioural techniques are used to spot and adjust unhelpful patterns.

Emotion-focused work helps people make sense of painful feelings and reconnect with what matters. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and past wounds that still affect daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to accept difficult thoughts while committing to values-based action.

Sessions are offered in English and Alice sees international clients from the United Kingdom. She works through a range of concerns beyond the headline issues, including body image, chronic illness, codependency and communication problems. The aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Alice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaching practical ways to change them. It helps with things like anxiety, phobias and unhelpful routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts without fighting them and taking actions that match personal values. This approach is useful for people who want to live more meaningfully despite painful feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alice will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. She adapts methods as therapy progresses and collaborates on small experiments and homework to test what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
