Naomi Brookes, BACP

Naomi Brookes is a UK-based counsellor who draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people through difficult times. She has three years of professional experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem and depression. Naomi listens with sensitivity and adapts conversations to each person's needs. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and encouraging.

Naomi has worked with people facing life changes, including the particular challenges some experience around perimenopause. She also supports those affected by chronic pain, illness and disability and helps people process trauma such as sexual assault and abuse. Other areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions typically involve talking through current difficulties, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and trying small changes to reduce distress. Naomi tailors the pace and focus so it fits each person’s situation and goals.

Naomi is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and works with people in the United Kingdom. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location and therapist availability.

To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules sessions according to Naomi’s availability.

How Naomi’s approaches translate to online therapy

Naomi works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on talking, noticing patterns and making small changes. One common approach she uses is problem-focused talking therapy, which helps people identify what is causing distress and try practical steps to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Another approach concentrates on life-stage and adjustment support, helping people cope with big changes like perimenopause, chronic illness or separation by rebuilding routines and self-care strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Naomi will discuss what feels most helpful, set goals with the person, and adjust methods as those goals and needs become clearer. This is a collaborative process where the person’s preferences guide the plan.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life since it reduces travel time and allows flexible scheduling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits someone, or sessions without video when bandwidth or comfort makes that preferable. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the exact options before booking to make sure they meet your needs.
