Approach
Alice is a warm and open practitioner who believes in using evidence-based practice in order to help people explore relationships, emotions, experiences and how acceptance and change can be possible. Therapy is tailored to each individual and she works with people collaboratively to make sense of their experiences, explore how these have emerged over time and to enable people to learn skills to effectively manage their emotions in order to bring about meaningful change.
