About Miriam

Miriam Berry is a psychodynamic counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. She supports those dealing with LGBT concerns, grief, eating issues, intimacy and low self-esteem. Miriam invites a first conversation to see if her approach fits your needs.

She focuses on how past experiences shape present behaviour. In sessions Miriam looks at patterns that started in early life and how these affect current relationships and choices. Talking this through can help people decide whether to keep certain habits or try new ways of relating.

Miriam has four years of practice and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and places importance on the working relationship between counsellor and client. That relationship is a key factor when people notice real change.

Her interests include LGBTQ issues, neurodiversity, loss and parent-adult child relationships. Miriam aims to make the first step into therapy easier by offering a calm, straightforward space to talk about what matters to you.

If you want to begin, she asks people to have a short initial conversation so you can both check practicalities and see if you can work well together.

How psychodynamic ideas work in online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how early life and repeated patterns shape current behaviour and relationships. It involves talking through feelings, memories and relationship patterns to increase awareness and help people choose different responses. This approach can be useful for worries about intimacy, family of origin issues, grief and persistent relationship patterns.

Miriam emphasises the therapeutic relationship as central to progress. Finding the right approach is part of the work together, and she will help clients choose what fits best based on their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively rather than imposed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to have sessions without travel. Some people appreciate being able to join from a quieter place, others prefer shorter check-ins by phone when time is tight. Discussing practical arrangements at the first appointment helps align sessions with everyday life and commitments.
