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 to her work. She has supported people aged 11 to 65 with a wide range of life experiences and offers a non-judgmental space where all parts of a person are welcome, including the aspects that can feel difficult to face. Her practice is collaborative, compassionate and relational, giving clients room for reflection, emotional processing and the chance to deepen self-connection.

Alice shapes therapy to fit individual preferences, whether through talking therapy, creative expression or a blended approach that combines both. She has supported clients through cultural and racial identity concerns, life transitions, relationship difficulties, depression, bereavement and loss, and helps create opportunities for fresh perspectives and insight. Her role is to help clients explore their inner world at emotional depth while feeling seen, heard and valued. She holds accreditation from the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Client-Centered Care and Creative Expression Online

Alice uses client-centred therapy, an approach that focuses on understanding the client from their own perspective and building a supportive relationship. This method prioritises empathy, acceptance and collaboration, and is helpful for people facing relationship challenges, grief, depression and major life changes.

She also offers creative counselling, which invites expressive methods such as art, writing or other creative activities alongside talking. This approach can help people access emotions and insights that are hard to reach through words alone, and is useful for those who prefer a more experiential way of working through loss, identity questions or family issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alice works collaboratively with clients to identify the best fit for their needs, goals and preferences, and she can adapt the pace and mix of talking and creative work as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and situations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, and allow clients to access support from locations that suit them.
