Naomi Forkes, BACP

Naomi Forkes helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed by relationship and family difficulties. She focuses on everyday struggles like low self-esteem, life changes and coping with feelings of emptiness. Naomi writes plainly and listens for what matters most to each person who comes to her.

Naomi believes people know their own story and brings a practical, supportive approach to sessions. She works collaboratively to identify useful steps and small changes that feel manageable. Conversations aim to make things clearer and to build on existing strengths.

Her background includes three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Naomi has helped with issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, avoidant personality patterns, and codependency concerns.

She also supports people facing blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin wounds. Other areas she addresses include forgiveness, guilt and shame, control issues, and domestic violence related concerns.

Sessions use straightforward techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic approaches to address emotional pain and daily coping. Naomi offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so conversations can fit around work and family life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a time that suits them.

Approaches that can help online and how they work

Naomi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage feelings and improve everyday functioning. One common approach helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and reactions, then practise new ways of responding to reduce anxiety and increase confidence. This can be useful for stress, low self-esteem and worry.

Another practical strand supports people in mapping relationship and family patterns, improving communication and setting clearer boundaries. This approach helps with blended family issues, codependency and difficulties tied to attachment or abandonment feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. She adapts what she uses as conversations progress so the plan stays relevant and workable.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy days or care routines. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing work and family commitments.
