Background and approach

Her background includes supporting people through relationship strain, blended family issues and difficult family of origin patterns. In sessions she treats each person as the expert on their own life. Naomi helps clients identify practical steps and small changes that make a difference.

Conversations cover coping skills for anxiety, dealing with guilt and shame, and building healthier communication habits. She also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns that can affect relationships and self‑worth. Naomi offers straightforward support around separation, divorce and caregiver stress without using complex jargon.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to what feels possible for each person. Naomi helps clients set realistic goals, practice new ways of relating, and notice progress as it happens.

Evidence‑based approaches and online support

Naomi draws on evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and relationship patterns. One approach helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding and short behavioural experiments to test unhelpful thoughts. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns to understand how early experiences shape current relationships and communication, useful for people facing family conflict or repeated relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Naomi will work with each person to agree which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients set the pace and priorities while she offers guidance and practical tools.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video calls let people talk face to face and use visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check‑in, while live chat or messages suit those who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around family life and work commitments.
