Background and approach

Sessions commonly include psychoeducation so clients can understand what is happening for them. Her main focus areas are stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with isolation and loneliness, low self-love, social anxiety and phobia.

Alice works step-by-step on manageable goals tailored to each person’s situation. In practice she combines short skills practice, guided mindfulness and reflective conversation. Clients often learn breathing and grounding techniques, simple cognitive tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and ways to build kinder self-talk.

Alice encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. She offers sessions in English and Italian and provides a range of online formats. The first meeting is used to understand current struggles and set practical goals.

Alice aims to help people feel more capable and less overwhelmed one step at a time.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Alice commonly uses cognitive-behavioural techniques, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple, practical experiments. This approach helps with anxiety, worry and low mood by teaching tools to change patterns of thinking and behaviour.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to help slow down racing thoughts and regulate stress. Mindfulness work includes short breathing and grounding exercises and can be useful when people feel overwhelmed or disconnected from the present moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alice will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and choose techniques together that suit the person. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps in everyday life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typed contact. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep working on skills between sessions.
