About Naomi

Naomi Brookes is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She aims to help people navigate hard moments like anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Naomi keeps language simple and direct so conversations feel practical and grounded.

She works with stress, self-esteem issues, depression and the practical effects of life changes. Naomi has particular experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, motivation and the challenges that can come with perimenopause. Her wider focus includes concerns such as attachment and abandonment, chronic illness and pain, divorce and separation, and recovery after sexual assault and abuse.

Naomi says she treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs, with a collaborative plan that reflects their goals. She aims to break big problems into manageable steps and to build simple strategies people can use between meetings.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Naomi listens for patterns, practical barriers and small strengths to build on. She encourages people to reflect on past coping, try new ways of handling difficulties, and notice what changes over time.

Starting therapy can feel daunting and Naomi acknowledges that first step takes courage. To begin, people follow the site’s matching process and then arrange appointments according to availability. She works in English and does not accept international clients at this time.

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Naomi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage current problems. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing it against everyday evidence, which can reduce anxiety and low mood by changing how situations are interpreted. Another approach concentrates on behavioural changes - setting small, achievable tasks to rebuild motivation, sleep or activity levels so life feels steadier day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Naomi discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and tests what helps most. She adapts methods as the relationship develops so the plan remains practical and relevant to a person’s circumstances.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, save travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access regular support from wherever they are in the UK, while the therapist and client decide together what pace and format suit each person best.
