Alice Spencer, BACP

Alice Spencer offers a calm, non-judgemental place to talk when life feels hard. She focuses on helping people who are facing relationship strain, family stress, grief, depression and major life changes. Sessions are shaped around what the person needs so conversations feel useful from the first meeting.

Alice practises Person-centred Therapy, often called Client-Centred Therapy, and brings a collaborative, compassionate style to each session. She values creative ways of working as well as talk-only approaches, and will adapt the format to suit individual preferences. This can help when someone prefers drawing, writing or other expressive methods alongside talking.

Her background includes work in healthcare, higher education, the charity sector and independent practice. That range has exposed her to many life situations and perspectives. She draws on that experience to offer practical ways to think about problems and gentle encouragement for change.

Typical issues Alice supports include bereavement and loss, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and blended family challenges. She also assists people coping with cancer, ageing worries, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.

Alice is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practises in the United Kingdom and runs therapy in English. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How client‑centred work translates to online therapy

Alice uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions. This approach suits issues like depression, grief, relationship worries and major life changes because it prioritises the person's experience and pace.

She also offers creative ways of working alongside talk therapy, such as expressive activities or a blended approach. These options can help when someone finds it easier to show difficult feelings through drawing, writing or other creative means rather than only talking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then tailor sessions accordingly in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when people are busy. It can also mean less need to be on camera if that helps, or options that suit lower bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their style online, and many people find meaningful progress through remote sessions when the approach fits their needs.
