Naomi Brookes, BACP

Naomi Brookes is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential - a membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy that reflects recognised professional standards in the UK. She works with people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, confidence challenges and depression, and she brings particular experience in supporting those coping with life changes including perimenopause.

Naomi also offers focused support for issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, chronic pain or illness, separation and divorce, feelings of emptiness, family tensions, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, midlife transitions, post-traumatic stress, Seasonal Affective Disorder, self-love, and recovery after sexual assault and abuse. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique circumstances and goals. Naomi approaches therapy as a collaborative process and encourages those taking the first step toward support, acknowledging the courage it often takes to begin.

Evidence-based methods for online emotional support

Naomi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical thinking and behavior changes as well as relational patterns. Cognitive strategies help identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and low mood, supporting clearer decision making and reduced mental distress. Behavioral approaches concentrate on building coping skills and consistent routines - for example activity planning, stress management exercises, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations - which can improve mood and daily functioning. She also draws on relational and emotion-focused work to explore attachment, relationship patterns and difficult feelings, helping clients understand how past and present relationships shape their responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Naomi works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences. She discusses options, monitors progress and adjusts the plan together with the client to ensure it feels like the best fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy lives and to access therapy from home or work. These options help maintain continuity of care and make it simpler to connect with licensed professionals when scheduling or mobility would otherwise be a barrier.
