A compassionate space for grief, change and emotional healing.
Alice offers warm, culturally responsive counselling for adults and older adults experiencing loss, grief, life transitions, critical or chronic illness, or emotional difficulties. She works at each client’s pace and integrates mindfulness, person-centred, strengths-based and compassion-focused approaches.
A brief, no-cost conversation can be used to discuss fit, appointment format, availability and next steps. It is not a counselling session.
