About Alice
Alice Spencer offers calm, straightforward support for people facing relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes. She writes in a warm, non-judgemental way and focuses on helping clients feel heard. Alice uses simple, human language in sessions so parents can follow along even on a phone screen.
Alice practises Person-centred therapy, which means she pays close attention to what matters to each person and responds with empathy. Sessions can be conversational, creatively expressed, or a blend of both depending on what feels right.
Background and approach
She aims to make space for honest feeling and clearer thinking rather than prescribing one fixed method. Her background includes work in healthcare, higher education, the charity sector and independent practice. That mix has exposed her to a wide range of life situations and practical pressures.
She draws on that experience when helping people cope with things like loss, family problems and difficult transitions. Alice describes her way of working as collaborative and relational. She offers room for reflection and emotional processing, and helps people explore their inner world at a pace they can manage.
The focus is on noticing what’s happening now and finding small changes that can make day-to-day life easier. Clients can expect flexible sessions shaped to personal preference. Creative options are available alongside talking therapy for those who find different forms of expression helpful.
Alice is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Alice’s main approach is Person-centred therapy. That means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what matters to you and follows your lead. This approach helps when someone needs space to process grief, relationship strain or changes in life circumstances.She also offers creative counselling alongside talking therapy. Creative methods use art, writing or movement to access feelings when words are hard to find, which can be useful for processing loss or complex family issues. Both approaches aim to help people feel seen and to build clearer ways of understanding their experience.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adapt sessions accordingly. Together you decide whether to focus on conversation, creative activity or a blend of both as therapy moves forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit those who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work and other commitments while keeping the focus on what helps you most.
