About Naomi
Naomi Howard is a counsellor who uses attachment-based and trauma-informed ways of working. She blends psychodynamic ideas with a client-centred style to help people feel steadier. Naomi has five years' experience in therapeutic and safeguarding roles in the United Kingdom.
She supports people facing anxiety, depression and stress. She also helps those coping with grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and mood conditions such as bipolar. Parenting concerns and intimacy-related issues are included among her areas of focus.
Background and approach
Naomi has particular experience with trauma and abuse, including child abuse, sexual trauma and domestic abuse. She works with people who carry the long-term effects of those experiences, such as dissociation, hypervigilance and disconnection from themselves. Her aim is to help people feel safer, more grounded and more able to make choices for themselves.
Her approach mixes talking about past experiences with practical, present-focused steps. She uses psychoeducation to explain why the body and mind react as they do. Creative methods are also available for people who find non-verbal expression helpful.
Naomi is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. If someone wants to begin, they can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How attachment and trauma work translates online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect feelings and behaviour now. It helps people notice repeated relationship reactions and try different, healthier ways of relating. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how past experiences influence present choices and feelings; it is useful for understanding recurring patterns and deep-rooted issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Naomi will work with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses. That shared planning helps keep the work practical and grounded in what the person wants to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lives. Video calls are close to in-person conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
