Dr. Alice Zacharia, DClinPsy
Clinical Psychologist offering in-person and online support to adults, children, adolescents and families​
About me
I am a registered clinical psychologist authorised to practice in both the UK and France. I have experience working with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, difficulties coping in the face of significant physical health conditions, and difficulties following traumatic experiences. I have worked with individuals of all ages, from young children right up to people in their eighties. I have also worked extensively with individuals with neurodiversity (autism and ADHD), as well as those considering whether this might be the case for them.
I use a range of different therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassion focused therapy (CFT), and narrative therapy. I recognise that each person needs an individual approach that is suited to their particular needs and goals. I strive to work collaboratively with clients, and to help them to build on their existing strengths and resources.
​I received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy) from University College London in 2023. I also hold a Masters degree (MSc) from University College London in Clinical Mental Health Sciences. I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at the University of Cambridge. I have also published several scientific articles in journals such as The Lancet, Frontiers in Psychiatry, and the Journal of Personality Disorders.

Thank you for your time and empathy and starting us off straight away with some strategies to use and ways of thinking about what success might look like. All so valuable!

Contact Alice
I know that it doesn’t always feel easy or straightforward to find the “right” therapist for you or your child. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute video consultation — this is a chance for you to share your hopes for therapy and for me to explain more about my approach.
