About Naomi
Naomi Howard is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has five years of experience working in the field of therapy and safeguarding. She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues and loss. Naomi also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related worries, addictions, sleeping and eating difficulties, and career or life-change dilemmas.
Her background includes work with survivors of child abuse, sexual trauma and domestic abuse. She also helps people who struggle with self-harm, suicidal thoughts, dissociation and complex reactions to past harm. Naomi pays attention to the ways traumatic experiences affect both mood and daily coping, and she aims to help people feel more grounded and in control.
Naomi uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current patterns. She combines this with attachment-based thinking to understand relationship patterns and client-centred practice to keep the person’s concerns at the heart of sessions. Trauma-focused methods and psychoeducation are used to explain why the body and mind respond as they do after harm.
In practice she includes creative ways to express feelings and parts work to look at inner voices such as the inner critic or inner child. These activities are used alongside talk therapy to build stability and practical coping skills. Naomi works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.

How Naomi's approaches translate to online work
Naomi combines attachment-based thinking with psychodynamic and trauma-focused methods. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds shape current responses. Psychodynamic work examines how past experiences and internal parts, like an inner critic or inner child, influence choices and feelings. Trauma-focused approaches aim to build stability and offer practical ways to manage strong reactions and flashbacks.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Naomi will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the person's needs, goals and preferences. That means checking in about what feels helpful and adapting methods as work progresses rather than assuming a single route from the start.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins around work or family commitments and to use shorter sessions when needed.
