About Miriam
Miriam Berry is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and life changes. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, self-esteem and issues connected to LGBT identity. Miriam speaks plainly and aims to make the first step into therapy feel less daunting.
She uses a psychodynamic approach, which means she looks at patterns in relationships and behaviour that started early in life. Miriam will talk through how past experiences may still influence thoughts and responses today.
Background and approach
That understanding can make it easier to choose different ways of reacting. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can pick the format that fits their day. Miriam works in English and practises from the United Kingdom.
She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as the BACP. Miriam has four years of clinical experience and takes an open, conversational style. She places value on the relationship between counsellor and client and uses it to guide the work.
Early sessions focus on clarifying what someone wants to change and how to approach those goals together. People often come for help with attachment and abandonment worries, autism and Asperger Syndrome-related challenges, chronic illness or pain, codependency and communication problems. Miriam also addresses fertility concerns, end-of-life and hospice related issues, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
How psychodynamic work and online sessions fit together
Miriam uses psychodynamic therapy to help people notice recurring patterns in relationships and behaviour. This approach looks at how early experiences can shape current responses and helps clients become more aware of why they act as they do. It is often used for concerns such as anxiety, attachment difficulties and grief. The therapist treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. Miriam will listen to what you hope to change and discuss whether psychodynamic work suits your aims. Together you will review goals and adjust the way you work as needs evolve. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls make it possible to have longer, face-to-face style conversations; phone sessions can be easier to fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or moments when typing feels more comfortable. These options let people continue therapy around work, travel or family responsibilities while keeping focus on the therapeutic goals.Questions people ask
