Naomi Brookes is a UK-based counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people through stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. She brings three years of professional experience and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Naomi aims to make the first step feel manageable and meets clients with sensitivity and respect.

Naomi helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes. She has a particular interest in concerns that often cluster together, such as feelings of emptiness, guilt, or isolation.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with bereavement from relationships, separation, or difficult transitions including perimenopause-related issues. Her approach is collaborative. Naomi listens first, then helps people set clear, realistic goals.

Sessions balance talking through feelings with practical strategies to reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Naomi also works with people affected by trauma, including past sexual assault or abuse, and with those navigating physical illness, chronic pain or disability. She addresses attachment and abandonment worries and helps people facing midlife questions or a search for life purpose.

People can expect straightforward language and a tailored plan that fits their life. Naomi uses what is helpful from evidence-based methods and adapts them to each person’s needs. She encourages small, steady changes and celebrates progress along the way.

Evidence-based approaches for online therapy

Naomi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and gently test new perspectives to reduce anxiety and low mood; it is useful for stress, depression and self-esteem work. Another approach emphasises building skills for coping with difficult emotions and improving day-to-day functioning; this is helpful for emotional dysregulation and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Naomi works collaboratively to identify which techniques fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Naomi uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexible access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy around work, appointments and daily life, making it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
