About Naomi
Naomi Howard is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and loss. Naomi also lists guilt and shame among her focus areas and supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues.
Naomi draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present feelings and patterns. She uses attachment-based ways of working to explore how early relationships influence trust and connection. Trauma-focused methods are used to help people understand how the body and mind respond to harm and threat.
In sessions she explains reactions with simple psychoeducation and offers practical steps to feel steadier. Naomi often works with parts work language to name an inner critic or an inner child and to notice how these parts affect choices. She also uses creative ways of expressing difficult feelings when words alone do not feel enough.
Naomi has particular experience supporting people who have experienced child abuse, sexual trauma or domestic violence, and she attends to the impacts those experiences can have on behaviour and mood. She describes helping people to feel more grounded and to regain a sense of control after distressing events.
Her approach emphasises collaboration and clarity. Naomi explains what is happening, suggests ways to manage difficult moments, and helps people plan small, practical steps between sessions. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom.
How Naomi's approaches translate to online sessions
Naomi uses attachment-based and trauma-focused approaches alongside psychodynamic thinking. Attachment-based work looks at patterns of connection and trust, and can help with relationship fears and feelings of abandonment. Trauma-focused work explains how the body and brain respond after harm, offering practical steps to reduce overwhelming reactions. Psychodynamic ideas help people trace how early experiences affect present choices and recurring feelings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Naomi will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. That means checking what feels manageable and adapting ideas over time as progress and needs become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to try expressive or parts-based exercises using whatever works best for the person and the session circumstances.
