Naomi Forkes helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or big life changes. She introduces a calm, straightforward space where clients can talk through relationship and family difficulties, coping struggles, and issues around confidence. Naomi uses simple language and listens for practical steps that suit each person.

Naomi has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

She believes people know their own story and brings gentle guidance to help them find clearer choices. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, identifying small changes, and building on existing strengths. Common areas Naomi supports include relationship tension, blended family problems, caregiver stress, feelings of emptiness, and difficulties with attachment and abandonment.

She also helps with communication problems, codependency, and feelings of guilt or shame after separation or loss. Her work takes a practical tone and aims to reduce day-to-day strain. Naomi offers flexible session styles to suit different needs, including video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging.

This variety can help people fit conversations into busy days and manage check-ins between longer sessions. Starting a conversation is simple: clients complete an online matching questionnaire and choose a time that fits. Naomi supports people at their own pace and encourages small steps that lead to clearer, more manageable change.

Approaches that guide online support

Naomi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer relationships. One approach is working to identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour, then testing small changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. This helps with stress, worry and low confidence by breaking cycles that keep problems going.

Another approach centres on attachment and relationship work, helping people understand how early experiences affect current bonds and expectations. This kind of work can reduce feelings of abandonment, improve communication and ease family tensions by making patterns easier to recognise and change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Naomi will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they decide which techniques to try. She adapts the work as progress is made so it stays practical and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy offers useful flexibility for people juggling busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel most like in-person meetings, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments.
