Background and approach

Her work draws on several practical approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods are used to build concrete tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Sessions are offered in English and Naomi accepts international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, so they can act on what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions because it focuses on values and committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi will discuss these methods with clients and help choose what feels most useful based on goals and preferences. Together they’ll adjust the plan as progress is made to ensure the approach matches the person’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family and parenting lives. Video calls let the therapist and client talk face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide options when schedules or energy levels make longer sessions difficult. These formats make it easier to fit regular support into a hectic routine and to continue work between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
