Naomi Forkes, BACP

Naomi Forkes welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem or big life changes. She presents a calm, steady presence and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is unsure where to begin.

Naomi believes people know their own story and brings a strengths-based approach to sessions. She helps clients notice what already works for them and build on those resources to manage difficult feelings and everyday challenges.

In the room she focuses on practical conversations about current problems. She talks through relationship and family concerns, communication patterns, and common sources of guilt or shame. Work can include looking at how past relationships shape present dynamics, and how that affects day-to-day coping.

Clients can expect straightforward support around issues such as abandonment, attachment worries, codependency and blended family tensions. Naomi also addresses caregiver stress, control issues, and the emotional impact of separation or domestic violence.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Together with the client she sets small steps that feel doable between sessions. Naomi uses three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom to inform her practice and aims to make therapy a practical part of someone’s life.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online support

Naomi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand and change patterns that cause distress. One common method involves looking at attachment and relationship patterns to see how early bonds affect current relationships and reactions; this helps when someone feels abandoned, empty or disconnected. Another practical approach focuses on managing anxiety and stress by identifying triggers, changing unhelpful thoughts, and building small coping steps that fit daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She and the client review what is working and adjust the plan as needed, so therapy stays relevant to the issues being raised.

For practical arrangements, please confirm the session formats offered before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and caregiving duties, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity of care while managing day-to-day commitments.
