About Alice
Alice Spencer offers calm, straightforward support for people facing hard times. She creates a non-judgmental space where clients can talk honestly about what is troubling them. Her approach is warm and collaborative, aiming to help people feel heard and understood during difficult moments.
She uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on the client’s own experience. Sessions can include talking, creative expression, or a mix of both depending on what feels right.
Background and approach
This flexibility means sessions can be adapted for emotional processing, reflective work, or practical problem-solving. Alice has four years of professional experience in healthcare, higher education, the charity sector and independent practice. She has supported people through relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes.
Her background means she is used to different life stories and varied emotional needs. In a session she listens with curiosity and without judgement. She offers fresh perspectives and space to notice feelings that might be hard to face.
The aim is to help clients connect more clearly with what matters to them. People can expect practical, down-to-earth sessions that focus on making small changes that add up. Alice describes her work as relational and compassionate, centring the client’s voice and goals throughout therapy.

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
Creative counselling brings non-verbal ways to express yourself, such as drawing, writing or other simple activities adapted for an online session. This can help when words alone feel limiting or when someone wants a different way to access memories and emotions.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you decide whether talking, creative methods or a blended plan fits your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face contact, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth, and text or chat options can be useful for short check-ins or when typed reflection feels easier. These formats help people fit sessions around work, family and daily life without needing to travel.
