About Naomi
Naomi Howard is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience in therapy and safeguarding. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Naomi also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD-related concerns.
She commonly sees clients affected by child abuse, sexual trauma and domestic abuse. Naomi aims to help people who feel disconnected, hypervigilant, overwhelmed or stuck after traumatic experiences. She describes using trauma-focused methods alongside psychodynamic ideas to make sense of past events and how they affect present feelings.
In sessions she uses client-centred listening to help people feel heard and understood. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Psychoeducation features in her work to explain why the brain and body respond as they do after trauma.
Naomi includes creative techniques and parts work to explore different aspects of the self, such as inner child or inner critic material. These methods are used to help people express difficult feelings and build greater emotional regulation. She also addresses practical problems like sleep, eating issues, anger and coping with life changes.
Her practice is in the United Kingdom and she works in English. Naomi notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled following that step.
How her approaches translate to online work
Naomi uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps when someone wants to understand why they react strongly in social or close relationships and to build steadier ways of relating.She also draws on trauma-focused therapy to address the effects of past abuse or traumatic events. This involves gradual stabilisation, learning about bodily and emotional responses, and working through painful memories at a pace the client can manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which combination of methods feels most helpful. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, avoid travel, and keep appointments during busy weeks. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or phone-based contacts when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to help people access consistent therapy while balancing everyday responsibilities.
