Alice Brooks

Are you struggling with relationship issues?  

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, panic attacks, challenging life transitions, or loss? Do you feel stuck? Do you have unresolved family issues? Talking to a counsellor/psychotherapist can help. 

I am experienced in working both long and short-term, with couples and individuals in various areas, including anxiety, depression, suicide, trauma, relationship problems, loss, infertility, grief, self-esteem and personal development. I offer a safe, non-judgemental, confidential space in which we can explore whatever it is that has brought you into therapy.

I work with couples and individuals from all backgrounds and affirm cultural and identity diversity.

I work with people to process difficult or painful thoughts and feelings and focus on their untapped potential, to identify and draw on their inner resources to live a fuller, more satisfying life. 

My therapeutic approach is Transactional Analysis (TA) which helps empower people to identify patterns in their thoughts, feelings and behaviours and understand those of others better, allowing them to manage their relationships in healthier ways. 

I understand it can be nerve racking to embark upon counselling or therapy - it takes courage to start. I work at your pace, as dictated by your needs. I encourage a collaborative process.

A good therapist-client relationship is built on empathy, trust and confidentiality. I work ethically and believe that all relationships are built on mutual respect. My intention is to be alongside you during challenges and to help you gain a sense of perspective, awareness and opportunity. My approach is tailored to the individual client or couple.

I belong to the BACP, EATA and IARTA Metanoia Institute, and am bound by their ethical codes of practice.
