Therapy Testimonials
“I am so glad to have met Naomi at a difficult time in my life. She is a thorough professional who provided me a safe, non-judgemental space to share and understand my trauma. She is extremely easy to talk to and I looked forward to my weekly sessions with her. She was patient and gently pushed me to do the hard work, dig deeper and understand my emotions, what caused them and ultimately how to work through them
THANK YOU!”
“The Octopus team taught me that, far from being a weakness, compassion in business is a massive strength, a brilliantly productive asset. I would never have got there without them. I’d like to thank them but I think, without them even realising it, my team and my family would like to thank them even more!”
“I found Naomi very approachable and an excellent listener. She offers far more than just ‘talking therapies’ and uses approaches that are new and based upon the latest research, for example ‘The Safe Sound Protocol’.”

“I recently had the good fortune of receiving long-term therapy with Dr Naomi Murphy during an incredibly challenging and painful time in my life. I always found her to be kind, caring, and empathetic. She created a safe environment for me to be open and learn to trust again. Every week, Dr.Murphy provided a safe space for me to explore my feelings of shame and hopelessness as I worked my way out of my mental health crisis. Her guidance eventually enabled me to work my way through to recovery. We focused on solutions, and Dr.Murphy helped me to see a way forward when I did not believe there was one. She made me realize that I deserve to be happy. Her extensive clinical knowledge and experience were evident from the start. I would highly recommend Dr. Murphy to anyone who needs counselling or therapy”.
“Fostering and then adopting a child with a disability and an extremely traumatic and complex history has had many challenges, and we often find ourselves wondering if we have the skill and stamina to help her any further. Your empathy and understanding of our daughter’s trauma history and its impact on her mental health has made it very easy for us to talk to you about our current situation.
Regardless of our tales of woe, and quite a few tears over the weeks, you have been unwavering in your patience, knowledge, support and kindness.
We can’t adequately express how grateful we are to have had so many hours of your valuable time, and the benefits we have gained. We now feel stronger mentally, and our daughter is more stable and regulated. We know this isn’t the end of our problems but feel validated by you in our decision making and therapeutic parenting approach, that I think would be viewed as undisciplined parenting by many people”.
Consultation Testimonials
“Naomi provided invaluable evidence to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Issues affecting Men and Boys, drawn from many years of specialist clinical work with men. Her vast experience enabled MPs to develop their understanding of some of the key issues affecting men today. Naomi’s curiosity, compassion and critical thinking has enabled her to understand the causes of aggression and make helpful recommendations for preventative action.”

RoshiWave Testimonials
“I’ve been feeling quite depressed and sleep deprived. After 1 session, I had the best sleep I’ve had in ages and felt rested. Initially it felt a bit ‘floaty’ like I’d come out of a deep meditation. I felt very connected to others but was also able to disconnect from the negativity in the environment. My focus was really sharp with amazing attention to details that I hadn’t noticed before”
51 year old man with complex PTSD, interpersonal difficulties and sleep apnoea (after session 1)
“Immediately after the session, my mind felt so clear and focused – its really unusual for me to feel like that. I didn’t have any persistent thoughts chattering away in the background. I fell asleep and slept deeply for several hours; when I awoke felt like I’d had such a good sleep and found myself calmer –I didn’t get wound up so easily”
34 year old man with complex PTSD, interpersonal difficulties and ADHD (after session 1)
“My mind feels really fresh and alert. Its almost like it’s had a cool shower – it feels uncluttered, clean and focused. Despite a week of stressful incidents, I’ve stayed calm and relaxed. I’ve noticed I seem to be laughing more. Others have commented that I seem “lighter” and happier. Two people have commented that I look different although couldn’t put their fingers on how.”
48 year old woman using for well-being purposes (after session 10)
“I’ve found myself much more focused this week. Ordinarily I have to read emails several times before I send them but this week I’ve had a lot more confidence and have just sent them without having to do repeated checks. My head feels clearer and I feel more focused.”
