Mrs Alice Fiorica

Psychologist

“I integrate the effectiveness of CBT with the moment by moment awareness of MINDFULNESS and the values oriented work of ACT.”

About Me

Hi, I am Alice, I am the founder and clinical director of Crossroads Psychology. I am a HCPC registered Psychologist, CBT therapist, ACT Therapist and a Mindfulness Teacher. I have over 20 years experience in working in public health services, charities, councils and in private practice both in the UK and in Italy. I work primarily with adults 18+ and couples. I specialise in the treatment of Stress and Anxiety Disorders (such as GAD, OCD, PTSD, Panic, Perfectionism, Social Anxiety and Impostor Syndrome); Depression and Bipolar Disorder; Trauma and relationship problems.

Approach

Therapy as well as life is for me a journey of self discovery and self improvement. I greatly value the opportunity to be a companion and a support on your journey. Together we will identify where you want to go in life and what you want to achieve with therapy. We will also identify what has got in your way up to now or is still affecting you in living the life you want to live. I’ll be on your side to help you understand the unique message each emotion brings and to help you in developing behaviours that acknowledge the difficulty, whist still moving forward in your chosen direction. We will use a combination of CBT, Mindfulness, ACT, Schema therapy and Coaching to identify your values and the life you want to live, creating a Mindful awareness and a different relation with your thought and feeling, while changing unhelpful behaviours into values driven effective action that will help you achieve your goals in life. We will address any issue in an open and supportive way.
