About Naomi
Naomi Howard is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has five years of experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and loss, and she also lists anger among her concerns.
She has spent years working in therapy and safeguarding roles and with people who have experienced child abuse, sexual trauma and domestic abuse. Naomi also supports people who are struggling with self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Her focus is on helping clients manage the ongoing effects of past harm so that daily life becomes more manageable.
Naomi uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier experiences shape current patterns. She also uses attachment-informed ways of thinking to understand relationships and parts work to explore internal conflicts, such as an inner critic or wounded child. Trauma-focused methods and psychoeducation are part of sessions so clients can learn why their body and mind react as they do.
She combines talking with creative exercises when that feels helpful. The work aims to build steadiness, reduce hypervigilance and help people feel more grounded and in control. Naomi describes practical steps clients can try between sessions to test what helps.
Naomi practices in the United Kingdom and carries her BACP credential in her professional listing. Sessions are delivered in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, clients use the site matching process to book a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Naomi draws on attachment-based ideas and trauma-focused methods in her online work. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and reactions; it can help when anger, trust or closeness are difficult. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the impact of past harm and uses grounding, pacing and psychoeducation to reduce overwhelming reactions and build stability.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Naomi will work collaboratively to identify what fits best for a person’s current needs, goals and preferences. That might mean starting with stabilising trauma-informed techniques and then using psychodynamic or attachment perspectives to understand longer-standing patterns.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to attend brief check-ins, use creative exercises during a session and keep momentum between appointments without promising any particular format.
