Naomi Forkes, BACP

Naomi Forkes works as a therapist in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional experience to her practice. She holds BACP accreditation - the UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists - and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, family conflicts, parenting challenges, low motivation, and struggles with self esteem and confidence.

Naomi approaches each person as the expert of their own story, building on existing strengths to address whatever is causing difficulty. Her work emphasizes practical steps and compassionate support, helping clients identify meaningful changes and develop skills that fit their everyday lives. She recognizes that seeking help takes courage and that small shifts can lead to more fulfilling and happier days.

Clients can expect a collaborative relationship in which Naomi listens carefully, tailors her approach to individual needs, and supports them through moments of uncertainty and transition. Her aim is to create a steady, encouraging space where people can explore challenges, try new ways of coping, and move toward goals that matter to them.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Naomi uses practical, evidence-based techniques that translate well to online work. She offers skills-based strategies for managing anxiety and stress - teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioural tools that help reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. She also uses relationship and attachment-informed work to explore communication patterns and emotional needs, which can support healthier interactions in families and partnerships. Additionally, Naomi employs strengths-focused approaches to build self esteem and motivation, using exercises that highlight personal resources and promote small, achievable changes.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. Naomi collaborates with each client to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods as progress unfolds so the approach remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy with Naomi is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the format that best suits a client's lifestyle and communication style.
