About Alice
Alice Spencer helps people who are facing relationship strain, grief, depression or big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely, offering a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters most. Alice is introduced here by name so readers know who they will meet.
Alice uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the person rather than the problem. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit what each person needs.
Background and approach
She adapts to how someone prefers to work, whether through conversation, creative tasks, or a mix of both. Her experience spans health services, higher education, the charity sector and independent practice. Over four years she has supported people with bereavement, relationship difficulties, depression and identity questions.
She also works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, abandonment, attachment and blended family challenges. Practical life stresses are part of her caseload too, including caregiver strain, chronic illness or disability, body image worries and coping after a disaster. Alice pays attention to how these problems affect day-to-day living and decision making.
She aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and to make changes that feel manageable. Alice is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are organised from the United Kingdom.
She works online using video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs.

Approaches Alice lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also offers a blend of talking and creative methods when that suits the person. Combining conversation with simple creative tasks can open new ways of understanding and expressing difficult feelings, especially around identity, grief or relationship concerns.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will help find the best fit. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so methods can be changed if something else would help more.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and are easier when a camera is not wanted, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
