Naomi Campbell Plans Therapy Sessions With Her Mum.... Supermodel Naomi Campbell's mum is making up for months away from the beauty as a child - by agreeing to join her in therapy.

The British catwalk star, who never knew her father, admits she largely grew up on her own because her mum, a ballet dancer, had to leave the young Naomi at home while she travelled.

Campbell recalls, "She left me with a nanny from the time I was three until I was 12. I'm sure it wasn't easy for her to leave me, but she was a single mother and she had to work.

"I can't imagine the pain she felt when my father abandoned us. I would see her on vacations, when she would pop over for a few days.

"It was always a delight to see my beautiful young mother. How happy I'd be when she picked me up from school."

But there's no distance between Campbell and her mother, Valerie, now - they share everything together.

The model adds, "Recently, my mother agreed to go into therapy with me."

Campbell tells W magazine the mother and daughter therapy sessions will begin when she's eliminated all the negative elements from her life: "It's something I wanted for a long time but haven't started because now I need to get myself on the right path first."
