About Mariam
Mariam Nakabugo welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or uncertain. She writes in a warm and encouraging way and aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. Mariam works with adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem and life changes.
She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, stress and work-related pressure. Mariam uses a person-centred style that puts the client's experience at the centre. That means listening first, then helping people notice their own strengths.
Background and approach
She also uses solution-focused techniques to break problems into small, manageable steps and to set practical goals. Her practice includes attention to cultural issues and to experiences of abuse and harmful practices. She can integrate Christian values into sessions when a client asks for that perspective.
Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and personal background. Clients can expect short-term problem-solving alongside deeper, reflective work when needed. Conversations often start with practical coping ideas and move toward clearer goals for change.
Mariam emphasises respect, patience and steady support through difficult moments. She brings ten years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as a professional credential. Mariam works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Mariam works with two main approaches that fit well online. Person-centred work focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on creating a steady, respectful space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor follows their pace.Solution-focused work aims to identify small, practical steps and build on what is already working. In remote sessions this often looks like setting clear, short-term goals, checking progress between meetings and adjusting actions as needed to make steady improvements.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mariam will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most comfortable, then agree on a way forward. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and practical needs, so clients can pick what fits their life.
