Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Naomi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. She uses skills-based coping strategies that help clients manage stress and anxiety through practical tools and step-by-step techniques designed to reduce overwhelm and build resilience. She also offers relational and family-focused work that examines communication patterns, attachment dynamics, and the roles people play within families - this helps when addressing blended family issues, parenting challenges, or relationship conflict. A strengths-based exploration complements these methods by identifying personal resources and values that support motivation, self-esteem, and recovery from feelings of emptiness or shame.

Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Naomi works collaboratively with clients to identify which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and life situation, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and empowered in shaping their sessions.

Online therapy makes these options accessible via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats let clients maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they support ongoing progress even when in-person meetings are not possible.
