About Naomi
Naomi Howard works primarily through a trauma-informed and psychodynamic lens to help people make sense of painful experiences. She draws on five years in the therapeutic field and a BACP registration to support people coping with anxiety, depression, stress and trauma. Naomi explains things plainly and focuses on small, practical steps that can help in day-to-day life.
She often supports people who have experienced child abuse, sexual trauma or domestic abuse and those dealing with self-harm or suicidal thoughts.
How Naomi works
Naomi pays attention to how past events shape present feelings and behaviours, and she helps people feel more grounded and in control. Her aim is to create a steady pace for recovery rather than rush the process. Her sessions blend psychodynamic work, attachment-based ideas and trauma-focused methods.
Naomi uses parts work to explore inner voices such as the inner critic, plus psychoeducation so people can understand normal stress responses. Creative tasks are offered when words feel stuck or overwhelming. Naomi works with a wide range of concerns including grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, self-esteem and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.
She also addresses areas like abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation and impulse control. Conversations in therapy are practical and compassionate, aimed at helping people rebuild a sense of choice. Sessions are conducted in English and are delivered online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Naomi provides clear steps for getting started and supports people who want to heal and move forward.

How Naomi's approaches work online
Naomi uses psychodynamic therapy to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. This helps when patterns repeat, or when people want to understand where strong emotions come from.She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships affect closeness and trust. That work can be useful for problems with intimacy, abandonment fears and communication difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Naomi will talk with each person about their needs and goals and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. Decisions about focus and pace are made together so therapy feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, chat fits a brief check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family life and other commitments, and help people keep continuity of care when travel is difficult.
