Naomi Brookes, BACP

Naomi Brookes is a UK-based therapist with three years of professional experience who supports people through periods of change, loss, and uncertainty. She recognises that life can bring moments of darkness and grief, and that having a calm, attentive companion while working things through can make a meaningful difference. Naomi works with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, low motivation, issues with self-esteem and confidence, and depression, tailoring her approach to each person she sees.

She has particular experience supporting people coping with life changes, including the challenges some face during the perimenopausal years. Naomi also offers help with attachment and abandonment concerns, family and relationship problems, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and difficulties related to chronic pain, illness, or disability. Her practice includes working with trauma, infidelity, divorce or separation, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, midlife transition, and seasonal mood changes.

Naomi treats clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and adapts conversations and treatment plans to meet individual needs. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support practical coping and emotional healing. Naomi recognises that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and is committed to meeting each person where they are to help ease their burden.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Naomi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skill-building with reflective work. One approach focuses on developing coping skills and practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and mood symptoms; this involves learning tools to reduce distress and build day-to-day resilience. Another strand emphasises relational and attachment-focused work to explore patterns in relationships, address abandonment or trust issues, and support healthier connections with others. A complementary supportive approach helps people navigate life transitions - including midlife adjustments and perimenopausal changes - by clarifying priorities and finding adaptive ways to cope.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Naomi takes a collaborative stance, working with each client to determine which techniques best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts plans over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by enabling sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access a registered professional from home or elsewhere, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. The variety of formats supports different communication styles and can help clients engage in therapy in the way that feels most manageable for them.
