Alice Craven

I’m Alice, a therapist trained in CBT and groupwork, and a life coach who supports students to grow in confidence, clarity, and self-belief. I work online with learners across the world and also partner with businesses, colleges, and community organisations in Edinburgh. My background includes experience in GP practices and community settings, where I supported people facing a wide range of emotional and practical challenges. This grounding helps me bring a calm, steady, and evidence-based approach to coaching.

I also have a TEFL background and international teaching experience, which means I’m skilled at working with students from diverse cultures, languages, and learning styles. I understand the pressures that come with studying abroad, managing transitions, and building a sense of identity in new environments. My coaching blends CBT tools with practical goal-setting, helping students manage stress, strengthen routines, and develop habits that support wellbeing and academic progress.

Whether someone is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply wanting direction, I offer a supportive space to explore what matters and take meaningful steps forward. My approach is warm, structured, and focused on helping students feel capable, motivated, and grounded in themselves.

I focus on emotional wellbeing, and collaborative problem-solving, shaped by my therapeutic work with individuals and groups. My coaching style is practical and encouraging, helping students recognise their strengths and build momentum. I aim to create a space where learners feel understood, supported, and able to make meaningful changes that last.
