About Naomi
Naomi Howard is a counsellor who draws on psychodynamic and trauma-focused ways of working to support people through difficult life moments. She holds BACP accreditation, and she aims to help clients feel more grounded, understood and able to move forward. Her practice often focuses on stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties linked to past harm or current life strain.
Naomi has five years' experience in therapy and safeguarding. She supports people affected by child abuse, sexual trauma and domestic abuse, and those struggling with self-harm or suicidal thoughts. She pays attention to how past events shape present feelings and behaviours.
In sessions Naomi uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns and attachment-based thinking to explore how relationships affect wellbeing. Trauma-focused methods and psychoeducation help people understand bodily and emotional reactions after harm. She also uses creative ways of working and parts work to make difficult material more manageable.
Her style aims to help clients feel safer in their bodies and clearer about next steps. Naomi speaks plainly and works at a pace that suits each person. She supports people with a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, career stress and compassion fatigue.
Naomi practices in the United Kingdom and carries the BACP credential listed above. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients at this time. To begin, the website matching process is used to choose and schedule sessions.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Naomi draws on psychodynamic therapy to help people look at past patterns and how early relationships influence current feelings. This approach can help when recurring relationship problems or long-standing moods cause distress. Attachment-based work focuses on how bonds with others shape responses to stress and loss and is useful for issues around intimacy, abandonment and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Naomi will discuss your goals and preferences, and together you will choose which ideas to use and how to adapt them. This is a collaborative process that may change as you notice progress or new needs emerge.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also let people use visual or creative exercises in different ways, or choose phone sessions if bandwidth or camera use is a concern.
