About Naomi
Naomi Forkes offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety and major life changes. She meets clients with straightforward care and helps them untangle relationship and family difficulties. Naomi focuses on boosting self-esteem and motivation so people can move forward with everyday life.
Naomi believes clients know their own story and brings a respectful, collaborative stance to sessions. She listens for strengths and patterns, then helps people try small, achievable steps.
How Naomi works
Conversations are plain and goal-focused rather than full of jargon. Her work covers a range of family-related concerns including blended family issues, parenting strains, and family of origin problems. She also helps people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and communication breakdowns.
Naomi supports those coping with divorce, separation and the emotional fallout that can follow. She pays attention to how control issues, guilt, shame and feelings of emptiness affect daily functioning. Caregiver stress and domestic violence are included in her practice focus, addressed with sensitivity and practical coping strategies.
Sessions aim to rebuild confidence and improve day-to-day coping. Naomi holds BACP registration, which she uses alongside three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and works with clients through a mix of formats suited to each person's needs.
To start people are invited to reflect on what matters most to them, set simple goals and try approaches that fit their life. The emphasis is on steady progress and usable tools that make a real difference between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Naomi uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then try alternative responses that reduce anxiety and improve mood. This method works well for stress, low confidence and everyday worries.Another strand of her work centres on attachment and relationships. Sessions look at past and present connection styles, how they affect trust and communication, and small ways to build more supported interactions. This is useful for relationship strain, abandonment concerns and family problems.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Naomi works with each person to clarify goals, try a method for a few sessions and adjust based on what helps. She invites feedback and adapts techniques to fit the person’s needs and preferences rather than following a fixed script.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are good for shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions or when a written record helps with processing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and everyday routines, while keeping care consistent over time.
