Alice Spencer, BACP

Alice Spencer is a person-centred psychotherapist and creative counsellor who brings experience from healthcare, higher education, the charity sector and private practice. She works with people aged 11 to 65 and draws on a relational, compassionate stance to help clients explore challenging feelings and life circumstances. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Alice offers a non-judgmental therapeutic space where every part of a person is welcomed, including the aspects that can feel difficult to face. Her work emphasises collaboration and emotional presence, creating opportunities for reflection, deeper self-connection and meaningful insight. Clients can expect to be seen, heard and valued as they explore their inner world and relationships.

Therapy with Alice is adaptable and shaped around individual preferences. She uses talking therapy, creative expression or a blended approach according to what best supports the client. Over her practice she has supported people through cultural and racial identity issues, life transitions, relationship difficulties, depression and bereavement and loss.

Alice seeks to offer fresh perspectives and space for emotional processing, supporting clients to navigate family matters, attachment concerns and other personal challenges with greater clarity and resilience.

Client-Centered and Creative Support for Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where clients lead the pace and direction of their work. This approach helps people explore identity, relationships, grief and life transitions by prioritising understanding and emotional attunement rather than advice or interpretation. It can be particularly helpful for clients navigating attachment issues, family matters or feelings of emptiness.

Creative counselling complements this by using expressive methods alongside talking therapy - such as art or other creative activities - to access emotions that may be hard to find in words. This blended approach supports emotional processing and can be useful for those working with bereavement, body image concerns, or complex family history.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Alice works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Alice is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to engage that suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals and continue steady therapeutic work across life changes and busy routines.
