Naomi Forkes, BACP

Naomi Forkes is a UK-licensed therapist with three years of professional experience working with adults facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, and relationship challenges. She brings focused support for self-esteem, motivation, parenting concerns, and navigating life changes, helping clients explore their strengths and build practical skills to manage difficult situations.

Naomi works with issues including attachment and abandonment concerns, avoidant personality patterns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, feelings of emptiness, and family of origin difficulties. Her approach emphasizes that each person is the expert on their own story and that those existing strengths are a resource for change.

Recognising that seeking support requires courage, Naomi offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to help clients take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. She is registered with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques for online support

Naomi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted for online work. One approach focuses on practical skills training to manage stress and anxiety - teaching strategies for coping, emotion regulation, and reducing overwhelm so clients can handle day-to-day pressures more effectively. Another strand of her work examines relational patterns and attachment concerns to help clients understand how early relationships influence current interactions and to improve communication and connection in family and intimate relationships. A third element is goal-oriented problem solving that supports motivation, self-esteem, and practical steps for life transitions and parenting challenges.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Naomi collaborates with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting her approach as needs evolve so therapy remains tailored and effective.

Online therapy with Naomi is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from registered professionals without the need to travel, helping clients sustain progress even when schedules are busy.
