About Naomi
Naomi Forkes offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety and difficult life changes. She focuses on helping individuals who are coping with relationship tensions, family problems, low self-esteem and the emotional strain of major transitions. Naomi explains things simply and aims to create a practical space to talk through immediate concerns and set doable next steps.
Naomi believes clients are the experts in their own stories and builds on their strengths.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most and helps people identify small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions are aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving how people handle conflict, communication and difficult feelings. Her background includes three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Naomi is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often written as BACP. That registration signals commitment to recognised practice standards in the UK. Naomi pays attention to patterns that come from family relationships and early attachments.
She also supports people dealing with abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and the fallout from separation or domestic violence. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and trying different ways of responding. Sessions use clear language and practical ideas rather than jargon.
Naomi is comfortable working by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. She encourages people to take the first step and bring one or two issues they want to address to the first meeting.

Online support
Another approach emphasises skills for managing overwhelming feelings and anxiety, such as breathing and grounding strategies, step-by-step problem solving and rehearsal of new responses. These techniques are practical and aimed at helping people feel more in control day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to what feels most helpful for the individual.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues and work more fully in session. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging allow quicker, shorter check-ins and written reflections between longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexibility while still focusing on useful therapeutic steps.
