Dr Alice Austin-Harris
Clinical Psychologist
My Background
I am passionate about helping people feel better and live a life that is meaningful to them. I provide evidence-based therapies, I am trained in several therapeutic approaches and mostly use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) (which I have gained accreditation for with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP)). I also draw on Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
​
I have worked in a range of teams and services across the NHS working with people struggling with their wellbeing. I continue to work part-time in the NHS in an inpatient hospital while offering private psychological therapy. I’m based in Fareham, Hampshire, and work with people across the region via online therapy.​​​​​​
My approach to therapy
​​​
​I believe that everyone has the capacity for resilience and positive change, even during life’s most challenging moments. I focus on developing an understanding of what is happening for you and building skills to support navigating life with greater ease and fulfilment.
​
Whether you are feeling anxious and tense, finding it hard to switch off at the end of the day, experience work stress, notice yourself feeling flat or low or just generally feel a bit stuck with where you are at in your life, we will work out a way forward together.
​
I offer a warm, non-judgemental space and work with you to ensure therapy is helpful and supportive.
My qualifications
​
I am fully qualified and registered with the Health and Care Professionals (HCPC, PYL042990). In addition to my doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy), I have a Master of Science (MSc) in Forensic Psychology and Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Psychology - both accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). I have also published research into delivering CBT for trauma and have several other publications related to my NHS background and doctoral focus in forensic settings. This has enabled me to have a deeper understanding of psychological therapies and approaches.
