About Naomi

Counsellor (BACP), 3 years' experience. Naomi Brookes works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people coping with life changes, including issues that arise in perimenopause.

Naomi offers straightforward, conversational therapy. She listens to the immediate problem and helps people break it down into manageable parts. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as thoughts and feelings that keep difficulties going.

Her background is three years of practice in the United Kingdom and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That registration is used when arranging professional care and reflected in how she runs appointments.

Naomi works with a wide range of concerns beyond the core list. These include abandonment and attachment issues, chronic pain or illness, divorce and separation, emptiness, family problems, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose and midlife change, post-traumatic stress, Seasonal Affective Disorder, self-love, and survivors of sexual assault and abuse.

Her style is collaborative. Naomi and the client set priorities together and try ways of coping suited to everyday life. The first meeting is used to agree what to work on and how to measure progress.

To start, someone selects the online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Sheet 2

Evidence-based approaches for talking and coping

Naomi describes her work as evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach is talking therapy that helps map out patterns of thought and behaviour that feed anxiety and low mood; it aims to identify small changes that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach addresses relationship and attachment difficulties by looking at how early patterns affect current reactions and communication, which can help people rethink how they relate to others and to themselves.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Naomi will discuss different methods with the client and choose what fits the person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you need a shorter check-in, or a session that does not require video, confirm the available formats when booking. The biography does not list specific session types, so check the current options before you book to see how sessions will fit into everyday life.
