Pronouns: She/Her
Alice is a warm, thoughtful, and compassionate clinical psychologist who places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of her work. She believes therapy is most effective when clients feel truly seen, understood, and listened to, and she takes the time to develop a safe and trusting space where clients can explore their experiences, emotions, and relationships with curiosity and without judgement.
Approach
Alice’s work is particularly informed by relational, experiential, and attachment-informed approaches. She is interested in helping clients move beyond simply understanding their experiences intellectually and instead develop a deeper, more compassionate awareness of their emotions, patterns, and ways of relating.
In her work with couples, Alice focuses on the patterns and cycles that develop between partners. She helps couples explore the emotions, needs, fears, and vulnerabilities that influence how each person responds, creating opportunities for greater connection, communication, and security in their relationship.
Alice works flexibly, adapting the pace, focus, and depth of therapy to each client’s needs and goals. This means she may move between approaches depending on what feels most helpful for her clients. At times, this may involve exploring longstanding emotional patterns and experiences in greater depth; at other times, the focus may be on developing practical strategies to support change in the present. Alice will always welcome feedback throughout the process to allow her work with her clients to evolve collaboratively.
