About Naomi
Naomi Howard is a counsellor who uses attachment-based and trauma-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She brings five years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. Naomi speaks English and practises from the United Kingdom as a BACP-registered professional.
She often supports people affected by child abuse, sexual trauma and domestic abuse, and those who struggle with self-harm or suicidal thoughts. Naomi aims to help clients feel steadier, more grounded and able to make clearer choices about the future.
Background and approach
Her work looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. Naomi uses psychodynamic ideas to reflect on early relationships and attachment patterns. She also uses trauma-focused work to create stability and reduce overwhelming reactions.
Practical tools feature in sessions. Naomi offers psychoeducation to explain why the body and brain respond to trauma in certain ways. She also introduces creative ways to express difficult emotions when words are not enough.
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Naomi pays attention to parts of the self, such as an inner critic or an inner child, and helps clients build more compassionate ways of relating to themselves. Her aim is to support people as they heal, regain control and move towards a life they value.

Approaches Naomi lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Psychodynamic approaches pay attention to past experiences and repeating patterns. In this context the therapist helps identify how earlier events influence present feelings and choices, which can be useful for people struggling with depression, emptiness or relationship difficulties.
Naomi treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to match their goals and comfort. Together they decide what to try first and review progress as therapy continues.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
