About Naomi
Naomi Howard is a counsellor who works in a relational, trauma-aware way. She draws on psychodynamic and attachment-based ideas to help people make sense of painful past experiences. Naomi has five years of experience and holds BACP registration.
She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also works with those facing trauma and abuse, addiction, struggles with eating and sleeping, and issues around self-esteem and identity. Naomi pays attention to how early relationships and attachment patterns shape current responses.
In sessions she helps people feel steadier and more grounded. She uses conversational therapy alongside psychoeducation so clients can understand how their body and mind react under stress. Creative techniques are offered to help express things that are hard to put into words.
Naomi explores past experiences with gentle psychodynamic work. This looks at recurring patterns and parts of the self such as an inner critic or inner child. Trauma-focused approaches are used to build stability and reduce overwhelming symptoms before moving deeper.
Her practice is practical and person-centred. Naomi aims to help people rebuild life after loss, abuse or difficult relationship experiences. She encourages small, manageable steps and works collaboratively on goals.
People who want to prioritise better sleep and rest can bring those concerns into therapy. Naomi connects sleep issues to stress, trauma responses and daily routines, and helps clients develop clearer coping plans and calmer routines.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns formed in early life. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to notice how attachment styles show up now and to try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.Psychodynamic therapy looks at past experiences and recurring patterns. In an online setting this involves talking through memories, identifying repeated themes and gently linking past events to current reactions, helping people make sense of longstanding difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the work as needs and goals become clearer. Clients help set the pace and choose which methods feel most helpful for them.
Please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here.
