About Naomi

Naomi Howard is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief and a wide range of other concerns. Naomi uses psychodynamic, attachment-based and trauma-focused approaches alongside client-centred practice.

She commonly supports people affected by child abuse, sexual trauma and domestic abuse. She also works with those struggling with self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and with issues such as addictions, eating and sleep problems, anger and difficulties with intimacy. Her practice addresses both recent and long-standing problems.

Naomi pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns and attachment-based thinking to explore relationships and internal relationships between different parts of the self. Trauma-focused methods inform stabilisation and pacing when memories or symptoms feel overwhelming.

In sessions she blends talking work with psychoeducation and creative tasks. She may use parts work to name and separate aspects such as an inner critic or an inner child. This aims to help people feel more grounded and able to make choices rather than be driven by old patterns.

Naomi offers practical steps and explanations about why the body and mind respond the way they do after trauma. Her emphasis is on helping people rebuild a sense of control and on practical ways to manage distress while processing difficult experiences.

She works in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

Naomi uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current emotional responses. This approach helps when someone struggles with trust, abandonment worries or repeating relationship difficulties.

She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to explore how past experiences influence present behaviour and feelings. This method helps uncover recurring themes and internal conflicts that keep someone stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Naomi will discuss options and make decisions with the client based on their needs, goals and preferences so the sessions feel practical and relevant.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins without travel and offer shorter or longer sessions to suit a work break or childcare arrangements. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods such as psychoeducation, parts work and trauma-focused stabilisation to remote appointments, and the therapist will explain how methods will be used when arranging the first meeting.
