Gentle, practical support for life's hard moments
About Naomi
Naomi Brookes works from a person-centred approach that focuses on understanding each person's experience and needs. She is a BACP counsellor with three years of professional experience and offers straightforward, calm support for everyday struggles. Naomi recognises how hard it can feel to start therapy and aims to make the first steps manageable and clear for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She helps with stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and difficulties with self-esteem and motivation.
Background and approach
Relationship issues and coping with life changes are a key part of her work, including support for people navigating perimenopause. Naomi also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, isolation, and feelings of emptiness. Her approach is practical and personalised.
Sessions are shaped around what the person says matters most, with space to talk things through, build coping strategies, and reflect on patterns that cause distress. Naomi emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation.
Naomi has experience with a wide range of concerns including chronic pain, illness and disability, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, infidelity, post‑traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, life purpose and midlife crisis, self‑love, and sexual assault and abuse. She keeps language plain and direct so people can understand options and next steps.
People can expect a collaborative process that moves at their pace. Naomi tailors sessions to individual needs, helping to make difficult decisions feel less overwhelming and to build steadier ways of coping.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Naomi uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques delivered in a clear, practical way. One common strand is person‑centred work, which focuses on listening carefully and helping people make sense of their feelings and patterns. This approach suits people who need a respectful space to talk and be heard.She also incorporates practical coping strategies that help with anxiety, stress and low mood. These are simple tools and small changes you can try between sessions to ease symptoms and build resilience. For people with relationship concerns, attachment‑focused ideas help identify recurring patterns and how to change them.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Naomi works collaboratively to choose what fits best. She will discuss options, try methods that match your needs and adjust the plan as you go, so the work stays relevant to your goals.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging, giving flexibility in how to connect. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check‑ins, written reflection, or when fitting therapy around a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit sessions into everyday life.
