Alice is a Clinical Psychologist who supports adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing emotional difficulties, life transitions, and challenges in their relationships with themselves and others. Many of the people she works with are navigating periods of uncertainty, whether that involves changes in identity, family relationships, education or work, becoming a parent, caring responsibilities, or trying to find a sense of direction and belonging.
“I am interested in understanding people’s difficulties within the context of their lives, rather than viewing them as problems that solely exist within the individual. Emotional well-being is shaped by our relationships, communities, cultures, and the wider social systems that we live within. Experiences of exclusion, discrimination, poverty, trauma, caring responsibilities, and other forms of adversity can have a profound impact on how we see ourselves and move through the world. Therapy offers the opportunity and time to explore these experiences, understand their impact, and discover ways of relating to ourselves and others.”
Her practice is informed by a commitment to social justice and an appreciation of the diversity of human experience. Alice aims to create a therapeutic environment where people feel genuinely understood and where all aspects of their identity can be explored with curiosity, respect, and compassion. A significant part of Alice’s clinical experience has been working alongside adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, and other neurodivergent individuals. This has shaped her belief that therapy should be flexible and responsive, adapting to each person’s strengths, communication style, preferences, and way of understanding the world. She is passionate about making psychological support accessible and meaningful for everyone.
How Alice Works
Alice sees therapy as a collaborative process of making sense of experiences that may feel confusing, overwhelming, or difficult to put into words. She believes that having the opportunity to reflect alongside another person can open up new perspectives, deepen self-understanding, and support lasting change. People who work with Alice often describe her as thoughtful, approachable, and genuine. She brings warmth and curiosity to conversations while also helping people notice patterns, assumptions, and ways of coping that may no longer be serving them. Her aim is not to simply offer quick solutions, but to work alongside clients to develop a richer understanding of themselves and the difficulties they are facing.
Alice draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), attachment-informed approaches, systemic thinking, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-informed practice. She adapts these approaches to meet the needs of the individual, as she believes different people require different ways of working.
She has particular interest and experience in supporting people through significant life transitions and developmental stages. This includes young people moving into adulthood, individuals exploring questions of identity and self-worth, parents adjusting to new roles and responsibilities, and carers navigating the emotional complexities that can accompany caring for a loved one. She also works with family members and carers who may be coping with stress, burnout, grief, uncertainty, or changes in their own sense of identity. She understands that caring for others can be deeply meaningful while also bringing challenges that are often overlooked.
The first sessions provide an opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy, consider the experiences that have shaped you, and think together about what you would like to gain from the process. From there, therapy is guided by your goals, values, and circumstances.

Professional Background
Alice is a University College London-trained Clinical Psychologist with experience across NHS and community services. She has worked in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), adult community mental health services, learning disability services, NHS Talking Therapies, and specialist third-sector organisations supporting young people facing homelessness and social adversity.
Throughout her career, she has worked with children, young people, adults, families, and carers presenting with a broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties. Alongside providing individual therapy, she has facilitated groups, offered consultation to staff teams, delivered training, supervised colleagues, and contributed to service development initiatives. Her work within learning disability services provided extensive experience adapting psychological therapies to ensure they are accessible, person-centred, and responsive to individual needs. This included working systemically with families, support networks, and professional teams, recognising that wellbeing is often shaped by the relationships and environments around us. Alice has also worked closely with young people affected by homelessness, exclusion, and multiple forms of adversity. Through this work, she developed a strong appreciation of community-based, trauma-informed, and co-produced approaches, as well as the importance of recognising the social and structural factors that influence mental health.
Alongside her clinical work, Alice has a strong interest in research and service improvement. Her doctoral research explored the relationship between depression and interoceptive abilities in autistic adults, reflecting her ongoing commitment to better understanding neurodiversity and improving the accessibility and inclusivity of psychological services.
