Alice Spencer
Gentle, person-centred support for life changes
About Alice
Alice Spencer offers calm, practical support for people facing relationship strain, grief, depression and big life changes. She creates a warm, non-judgmental space where people can talk about hard things and feel genuinely heard. Alice works in ways that suit the person sitting across from her, using talking, creativity or a blend of both.
Alice draws on four years of clinical experience across healthcare, higher education, the charity sector and independent practice.
Background and approach
She has worked with adults who bring a wide range of life stories and cultural backgrounds. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and building clearer ways to cope day to day. Her client-centred approach means sessions follow the person's pace and priorities.
Conversations emphasise emotional connection, reflection and finding new perspectives rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Alice aims to help people notice patterns, name painful feelings and make choices that fit their life. She also offers creative methods when talking alone does not feel enough.
Creative expression can help with processing loss, exploring identity or accessing feelings that are hard to put into words. These options are tailored to each person rather than imposed. Alice works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are arranged to suit the individual's needs and routines.

How client-centred therapy works online
Alice practices client-centred therapy, which puts the person's experience at the heart of each session. This approach involves active listening, reflecting feelings and following the topics that matter most to the client. It is useful for relationship worries, grief, depression and adapting to life changes.She also offers a blended style that combines talking with creative activities when that suits the person. Creative work can help with processing loss, exploring identity or accessing emotions that are difficult to name. Each method is offered as an option and shaped by the client's preferences and goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and together with the client decide what feels most helpful. Goals and methods can change over time as needs evolve, and that flexibility is part of the work.
Online therapy provides practical benefits such as fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time and giving access to ongoing support from wherever the client is in the United Kingdom. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited; live chat and text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These choices help people make therapy work for their life and schedule.
