About Naomi
Naomi Forkes welcomes people who feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed by family and relationship pressures. She writes plainly and listens closely so people can make sense of difficult moments. Naomi believes clients hold key strengths and builds on those to help with small steps forward.
Naomi offers straightforward support for stress and anxiety. She helps people handle relationship friction, family problems and the ups and downs of life changes. She also works with concerns about self-esteem, motivation and feeling empty or stuck.
Background and approach
Her practice pays attention to how early bonds can affect today’s choices. Issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and avoidant personality patterns are topics she will talk through. She also helps with practical family matters like blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and problems from separation or divorce.
Naomi brings three years of professional experience to her work and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That means she follows recognised professional standards set by that organisation. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice unhelpful patterns, try different ways of relating, and build small changes that feel doable.
Naomi uses clear language and steady support so clients can set realistic goals and measure progress over time.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support
Naomi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in clear, everyday terms. One common approach focuses on recognising patterns that keep stress and anxiety alive and testing small changes to shift those patterns. This is useful for ongoing worry, low mood, and repetitive relationship difficulties.Another approach centres on attachment and relational patterns. It helps people understand how past relationships shape current responses and offers concrete alternatives for communicating and connecting. This can help with abandonment fears, codependency, and communication problems.
Finding the best approach is a joint process. Naomi works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts methods according to how someone responds. The aim is to settle on practical steps that feel achievable and meaningful for the person in front of her.
Online sessions make this work flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or want more frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or other commitments.
