About Naomi
Naomi Howard is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches to help people who have been through abuse, loss or ongoing distress. She holds BACP registration and brings five years of practice experience to her work. Naomi speaks English and sees clients in the United Kingdom.
She commonly helps people who are anxious, depressed or struggling with low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with trauma from childhood or adulthood, including sexual and domestic abuse.
Background and approach
Other areas she works with include addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, relationship and intimacy-related problems, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar experiences. Naomi blends psychodynamic therapy with attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviours. She uses trauma-focused techniques and parts work to help people understand their inner critic, inner child and other self-states.
Psychoeducation is offered so clients can learn why their body and mind react as they do after trauma. Her sessions aim to help people feel safer in themselves, more grounded and better able to manage strong emotions. Creative methods are sometimes used to find new ways of expressing difficult memories and feelings.
Naomi emphasises steady pacing and practical tools alongside deeper exploration. If someone wants to rebuild and live more freely after harm or loss, Naomi offers time and attention to that process. To begin, a person follows the site’s Start Therapy steps to complete a brief questionnaire and arrange sessions based on availability.

How psychodynamic and trauma-focused work translate online
Naomi draws on psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches in her work. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences affect current feelings and behaviour; it helps when patterns repeat and when people want to understand why they react in certain ways. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on stabilising responses to traumatic memories and teaching practical ways to manage intense emotions and flashbacks.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Naomi collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This usually involves trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the pace so people feel able to work through difficult material without becoming overwhelmed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, care responsibilities or daily routines. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let people choose audio-only contact when video is not preferred. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work helps maintain continuity during life changes while keeping focus on real progress.
