About Naomi
Naomi Howard is a counsellor who uses a trauma-aware, attachment-focused approach to help people manage anxiety, stress and other painful experiences. She is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. Naomi writes in a calm, direct way and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and manageable.
She works with people affected by trauma, including childhood abuse, sexual trauma and domestic violence. Naomi also supports those facing depression, grief, addiction and challenges with self-esteem or relationships.
Background and approach
Her practice pays attention to how past events shape current reactions and relationships. In sessions she combines psychodynamic thinking with attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present patterns. She uses trauma-focused methods to help people become more grounded and less overwhelmed by symptoms.
Naomi also offers psychoeducation so clients understand why their bodies and minds react as they do. Naomi often explores different parts of a person's experience, such as an inner critic or an inner child, to help people recognise and change unhelpful patterns. She can include creative ways of working when words alone are not enough.
The aim is to help people feel safer, clearer and more able to move forward. Her style is direct but compassionate, focused on practical steps and personal understanding. Naomi encourages people to set manageable goals and to build tools they can use between sessions.
How attachment and trauma work translate to online therapy
Naomi draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment or repeating relationship difficulties by exploring attachment needs and responses.She also uses trauma-focused methods to support people affected by past abuse or violence. Trauma-focused work concentrates on stabilising symptoms, learning how the body and mind react, and developing skills to regulate strong feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Naomi will work collaboratively to choose or adapt methods that fit a person's goals, pace and preferences. She encourages clients to raise concerns and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and maintain a face-to-face feel, while phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and useful for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief check-ins or want to reflect before responding. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
