About Naomi

Naomi Howard is a counsellor who uses a trauma-focused approach to help people regain steadiness after distressing experiences. She combines understanding of past events with practical ways to feel safer and more in control. Naomi holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as BACP, and works from a trauma-informed perspective.

She has five years of experience in therapy and safeguarding and has supported people with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Naomi often sees people affected by child abuse, sexual trauma and domestic abuse, and she also helps those coping with self-harm and suicidal thoughts.

Background and approach

Her work addresses the emotional and physical effects that follow these experiences. Naomi uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier life events shape current feelings and patterns. She also uses parts work to notice inner voices such as an inner child or inner critic.

This helps people recognise how different parts of themselves influence choices and reactions. Trauma-focused methods and psychoeducation are part of sessions to explain why the body and mind respond as they do after harm. Naomi combines these with creative ways to express thoughts and feelings when words are hard to find.

The practical aim is to help people feel grounded and able to make different choices. Her practice includes work around relationships, addiction, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger and career stress. Naomi offers support for issues like attachment difficulties, abandonment, dissociation and impulsivity as part of a thoughtful, person-led process.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Naomi uses trauma-focused therapy to help people process the after-effects of abuse and overwhelming events. This approach looks at how trauma affects the body and mind and teaches ways to feel calmer and more grounded. Attachment-based work explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more supported ways of relating. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the core, offering a supportive space to speak without judgement and to decide the pace and goals of the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Naomi will talk with each person about their history, current needs and preferences and together they decide what to try first. She adapts methods over time so the work fits changes in goals and what feels most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can be quicker to arrange. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, writing-based reflection or days when typing feels easier than talking. These options aim to provide flexibility and consistent access to a therapist regardless of location.
