About Naomi

Naomi Howard offers a compassionate, client-centred approach to therapy. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and loss. Naomi uses straightforward, gentle methods so people feel heard and understood from the start.

She brings five years of experience working in therapy and safeguarding settings. That background means she has supported people through a wide range of issues, including self-harm, suicidal thoughts and addictions. She also works with concerns such as relationship difficulties, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and career stress.

Background and approach

Naomi often supports people who have experienced child abuse, sexual trauma or domestic abuse. She helps survivors regain a sense of safety and control, and to reduce hypervigilance and disconnection from themselves. She uses trauma-focused approaches alongside psychodynamic ideas to connect past experiences with present reactions.

Her practice draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy guides sessions so the person’s priorities lead the work. Psychodynamic ideas help identify patterns that repeat across life and relationships.

Naomi works in English and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

How attachment and trauma work translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can explore patterns of closeness and distance, helping people understand why they react in certain ways and how to build steadier connections.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist follows the client’s pace, reflects what comes up and helps the person feel understood, which can be effective whether talking by video or messaging.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Naomi will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the focus as needed so the therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work, and live chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around daily life while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
