About Naomi
Naomi Howard is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions and trauma-related issues, and lists young adult issues among her focus areas. Naomi supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, body image and self-esteem struggles, and career or life-change stresses.
Her background includes substantial work in therapy and safeguarding, with experience supporting those affected by child abuse, sexual trauma and domestic abuse. She also has experience with self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Naomi describes helping people who feel disconnected, hypervigilant or unable to move forward after difficult experiences.
Naomi uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences affect present feelings and behaviours. She also draws on attachment-based and trauma-focused approaches to help people feel more grounded. Sessions may include parts work to notice different inner voices, plus psychoeducation to explain common body and brain responses to trauma.
In practical terms Naomi works with creative methods to help people express difficult feelings that are hard to put into words. She aims to help survivors find more control and stability, reduce overwhelming responses, and rebuild a clearer sense of self. Her stated goal is to help people move towards living with less distress and greater choice.
Naomi offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work for online therapy
Naomi uses attachment-based and trauma-focused ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and closeness; this can help with relationship worries, intimacy issues and feeling disconnected. Trauma-focused therapy helps people understand and reduce the impact of traumatic events on thoughts, feelings and the body, and often includes stabilisation and practical strategies to manage intense reactions.Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice how past experiences influence present choices and feelings. Naomi aims to work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches for each person, discussing goals and preferences and adjusting methods as therapy progresses. Finding the best approach is part of the therapy itself rather than a one-time decision.
The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into study or work schedules, avoiding travel and keeping appointments more easily in a busy life. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer helpful continuity of care and flexibility when face-to-face meetings are difficult, and Naomi emphasises practical tools and creative methods that can be adapted to remote sessions.
