About me
About Me
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You might be experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or struggling to make sense of changes in your life. Perhaps you've been carrying difficult experiences for some time, or you're finding that familiar patterns are affecting your relationships, confidence or emotional wellbeing.
Whatever brings you to counselling, you don't have to navigate it alone.
I'm Naomi, an MSc-qualified, BACP-accredited Integrative Counsellor. I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
How I Can Support You
I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, bereavement, trauma and significant life transitions.
My experience spans private practice, community counselling, employee assistance programmes and specialist perinatal mental health support. I've supported people navigating both short-term challenges and more complex, longstanding difficulties, including clients with ADHD, autism and other mental health conditions.
I also have experience supporting individuals affected by pregnancy-related difficulties, including hyperemesis gravidarum (severe pregnancy sickness), and understand how these experiences can affect emotional wellbeing, relationships and identity.
My Approach to Counselling
As an integrative counsellor, I believe that therapy should be tailored to you rather than expecting you to fit into one particular approach.
My work is grounded in person-centred values, meaning I place importance on developing a genuine, trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, respected and understood.
Depending on your needs, I may draw on psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences influence the present, solution-focused approaches to identify strengths and possibilities for change, and CBT-informed techniques to support you in managing current challenges.
I work collaboratively and don't believe in imposing a fixed agenda on your therapy. Whether you're looking for a few sessions to explore a particular concern or longer-term support, we'll regularly review how things are going and what feels most helpful.
Getting Started
Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, particularly if you're unsure what to expect.
I offer a free 20-minute introductory consultation, giving us an opportunity to discuss what you're looking for, ask any questions and explore whether working together feels right.
I offer both face-to-face counselling in N16 and EN3, London, and online sessions, allowing you to choose the format that best suits your needs.
My standard fee is £60 per session, with a limited number of concessionary spaces available.
If you're considering counselling, you're welcome to get in touch. I'd be happy to hear from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MSc in Counselling (Merit) from the University of Northampton and a First-Class BSc (Hons) in Sociology from the University of Huddersfield. I am an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP Accred), demonstrating my commitment to professional standards, ethical practice and continued development.
I am an experienced integrative counsellor, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, solution-focused and CBT-informed approaches to tailor therapy to each individual's needs.
My clinical experience spans private practice, community counselling, employee assistance programmes (EAPs), online therapy and specialist services. I have provided counselling through organisations including Precious Counselling and Mentoring CIC, The Psychotherapy Room and Pregnancy Sickness Support.
I have supported adults and young people experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, bereavement and significant life transitions. My experience also includes working with neurodivergent clients, individuals experiencing more complex mental health difficulties, and those affected by pregnancy-related challenges, including hyperemesis gravidarum.
Alongside my therapeutic work, I have experience in risk assessment, safeguarding, advocacy and mentoring. My professional background across education, social care and community mental health services informs my understanding of the wider circumstances that can influence emotional wellbeing.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and am currently undertaking further training in clinical supervision. I practise in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework, maintaining appropriate professional boundaries, confidentiality and regular clinical supervision.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
