About Naomi
Naomi Howard uses a trauma-informed blend of therapies to help people feel steadier and more like themselves. She combines Attachment-Based, client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to make sense of difficult feelings. Naomi is presented as a calm guide who listens and responds to what a person needs in the moment.
Naomi has five years of experience in therapeutic and safeguarding roles across the United Kingdom. She has supported people coping with anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief and stress as well as complex trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Her practice also includes help for addiction, ADHD and disturbances with eating and sleeping. Her work focuses on safety, understanding patterns from the past and building practical ways to manage distress. Sessions can include talking through painful memories, mapping attachment and relationship patterns, and practising coping strategies for intense emotions.
She also uses creative exercises to help express things that are hard to put into words. Naomi pays attention to the body’s reactions after trauma and offers education about how the brain and body respond to stress. This helps people make sense of flashbacks, dissociation, hypervigilance and overwhelming shame.
She aims to help people feel more grounded and regain a sense of control. People often come for help with relationship problems, parenting strain, identity questions, career stress and problems with impulse control. Naomi describes the work as collaborative and paced to each person’s needs, with straightforward language and clear steps forward.

Approaches Naomi lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people find their own answers, useful for low self-esteem, life transitions and stress.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences affect present feelings and behaviour. It can help uncover repeating patterns, understand impulses and bring awareness to long-standing emotional conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which methods fit best. The plan can shift over time as new issues emerge or progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexible ways to connect. Video is good for more in-depth conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can suit brief check-ins and messages work for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and daily life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
