About Naomi

Naomi Howard is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. She places the person at the heart of therapy and listens closely to what matters most. Naomi aims to help people find safety, stability and clearer ways to move forward after painful experiences.

Naomi has five years of practice in therapeutic and safeguarding roles. She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. Her work also covers addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, and the disruption that follows major life changes.

She has a focus on survivors of abuse, including child abuse, sexual trauma and domestic violence. Naomi helps people who feel disconnected, overwhelmed or stuck after trauma to feel more grounded and in control. She also supports people dealing with self-harm and suicidal thoughts by emphasising stabilising strategies and pacing the work.

Her approach mixes psychodynamic ideas with trauma-focused methods and attachment-based thinking. She includes parts work to meet different sides of a person, and uses psychoeducation and creative exercises to make sense of physical and emotional reactions.

Naomi is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and take place within the United Kingdom. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match people to suitable appointments and times.

How Naomi's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and working at the client’s pace. Online sessions still allow space for the therapist to reflect what the client says and prioritise their goals and comfort. Attachment-based work looks at patterns of relating and how early bonds affect current relationships, which can be discussed and mapped out in conversation and reflective exercises online.

Psychodynamic elements help connect present problems to earlier experiences and recurring patterns. In remote sessions Naomi can guide gentle exploration of those patterns, parts work and memories while offering grounding strategies between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist will check in about what feels helpful and adapt the style to the person’s needs and aims.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow quicker access from different locations. Some formats also let people choose shorter check-ins or avoid video when that helps them engage more comfortably. Registered and accredited professionals can use remote sessions to maintain continuity while tailoring pace and tasks to everyday life.
