About me
Welcome! I’m Alice, a therapist and coach working with individuals and couples.
Perhaps your brain runs a million tabs at once, or relationships leave you frustrated, exhausted or quietly wondering what’s wrong with you. I work with people who have ADHD or are autistic, their partners, family members, friends and colleagues who love them (and occasionally want to scream into a pillow). Or maybe neurodivergence isn’t part of your story at all, and it’s a family or other relationship dynamic that has been quietly wearing you down for years. Whichever it is, you may just need a space where things finally make sense.
Together we untangle the patterns, build skills that fit who you are, and move towards relationships that feel safer and more honest. I help you gain clarity and create room for healthier, more conscious connections.
If you want someone who gets the complicated stuff, with both personal and professional experience of neurodivergence as well, you’re in the right place. You will also get judgement free zone and personalised approach, with all the care and dedication needed.
Some of the work I do (but not all):
- Ongoing issues and difficult relationship dynamics
- Anxiety and depression linked to relationships or commitment
- Repeating patterns across different areas of life
- ADHD and autism
- Improving communication and emotional closeness
- Understanding conflict patterns and navigating emotional distance
- Developing healthier boundaries and self-worth
- Preparing for long-term commitment or marriage
- Dating (including online dating) and making healthier relationship choices
- Seeking clarity around values, compatibility and direction
- Sex-related concerns
Training, qualifications & experience
Based in trauma focused work I organically developed a specialism in relationships — focusing particularly on how early experiences, family dynamics, attachment, and our neuro-styles shape the way we relate to others. Today, my work is firmly relationship-led and focused on meaningful, sustainable change.
I hold a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, as well as degree in Psychology and Criminology. I regularly attend training to broaden my knowledge and keep up to date on current developments in mental health. I have a keen interest in the neurosciences, women’s health, male wellbeing and correlation between psyche and other areas of health.
My prior experience involved working with all age groups- from children to the elderly. My past clients included survivors of abuse, crime victims, veterans as well as, neurodivergent (ADHD) and those with alternative life styles (BDSM). Large amount of my past work has been dedicated to the women and relationships, but I am a vocal advocate for men’s wellbeing and mental health.
I am a registered member of the BACP and I adhere to their Code of Practice.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
