Alice is the only therapist I have ever gotten along with, having had CBT and a few other versions in the past. She is never dismissal, always respectful and an incredibly kind human.

Alice is an extremely kind, wise and fearless therapist. She does not shy away from any difficulty and was quickly able to pick up on my issues and provide tools to help me. I cannot believe how quickly she was able to identify my problems and support me through them in a strong but respectful way.

The best therapist I have ever had. She saw me. That’s what I needed. She heard you and offers great help.

Alice has been a truly exceptional support over the time I have been going to her. I cam away from every session feeling stronger, and more optimistic, and feel like I've been shown ways of thinking and practical tools that I can take forwards and keep growing with for the rest of my life. I feel like we very quickly got to the root of issues I was facing, and Alice really helped me to see each of my problems in the context of my broader life and experience. When it came time to finish our sessions, I felt ready and confident.

The best healer! Alice understands not just words that are said but also the things that are unsaid. She revolves issues from its root. Her ability to understand body language is amazing. Definitely recommended for childhood traumas or parental issues or relationships with yourself and people around you. I would suggest trust the process. Her work is excellent!

Alice is down to earth, approachable, likeable and very knowledgeable. She’s caring, but still professional and seems to be able to hone in on your problem areas quickly and offer ways to overcome the issues at hand. She tells it like it is while still remaining non-biased, non-judgemental, non-critical and has a very gentle and encouraging approach. My experience with Alice has been a very positive one. She’s helped me greatly in my therapy, she’s made me feel like I’m not alone, has helped me boost my confidence and made me feel like there is another human on this earth who cares about me my progress and my future. I want to thank Alice for all she’s helped me realize within myself. A truly special therapist and person
