Alice Pead, AHPRA

Alice Pead brings a thoughtful and compassionate approach to therapy, focused on understanding each person’s experience and supporting meaningful, empowering change. She blends cognitive-behavioural therapy, mindfulness practice, and a person-centred stance to create a warm, collaborative space where clients work in small, achievable steps toward goals that matter to them.

Alice emphasises a holistic rhythm to care that includes dedicated time for relaxation and mindfulness exercises, alongside clear psychoeducation to help people better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Her practice centres on practical strategies and gentle exploration, offering nurturing guidance while respecting each person’s pace and priorities.

Registered with AHPRA - the Australian health practitioner regulator - Alice aims to support people experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as those coping with loneliness, social anxiety, or challenges with self-love. She approaches treatment collaboratively, helping clients identify manageable goals and build skills that foster resilience and wellbeing.

Throughout her sessions Alice seeks to balance evidence-informed techniques with compassionate, person-focused listening, helping clients make steady, meaningful progress toward a more satisfying, self-directed life.

Evidence-based approaches for online therapy and care

Alice commonly uses cognitive-behavioural therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and low mood. This approach focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers concrete tools for change.

She also integrates mindfulness techniques, which involve learning simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These practices can support emotional regulation and make it easier to cope with daily pressures.

Alongside these methods, Alice adopts a person-centred attitude that prioritises listening and collaboration, ensuring that therapy reflects each person’s values and pace. She works with clients to choose the combination of techniques that best fits their needs and goals, adjusting the approach as progress is made.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations, maintain continuity of support, and select the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
