Alice is an integrative therapist with a particular focus on psychodynamic theory and attachment. Her work centres on how early relationships shape a person’s sense of self and their way of relating to others, and how these patterns continue to influence the present.
Much of her work involves helping clients make sense of what has happened in their lives, as well as acknowledging what may have been missing. This includes making space for grief, both for past experiences and for unmet needs. She sees this as central to change, rather than something to move past quickly.
From an attachment perspective, she understands that we all develop ways of relating that helped us adapt to our early environments. These patterns can show up as withdrawing, becoming overwhelmed, or feeling stuck in repeated relational dynamics. In therapy, she supports clients to notice and understand these responses, and to consider whether they are still serving them.
Alice is an experienced trainee, currently studying for a Level 5 Diploma in Integrative Counselling at The Awareness Centre, and is a registered student member of the BACP. Alongside her training, she works within the NHS, where she has experience supporting clients with a range of difficulties including bereavement, complex trauma, domestic and sexual abuse, chronic illness, parenting, and ADHD-related challenges. Her approach is thoughtful and exploratory
