About Miriam
Miriam Berry is a BACP registered counsellor with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem and issues linked to identity, including LGBT and gender dysphoria. Miriam also supports those coping with life changes, eating issues, chronic illness and loneliness.
Her approach draws on psychodynamic therapy. That means she pays attention to patterns in relationships and repetitive behaviours. She will talk with clients about how earlier experiences may shape feelings and choices today. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people understand themselves a little better.
Miriam has a particular interest in neurodiversity, loss, and parent-adult child relationships. She will explore how attachment, abandonment or family of origin issues affect current interactions. This can include looking at control issues, codependency and communication problems that make everyday life harder.
She also works with people dealing with fertility challenges, hospice and end-of-life matters, and chronic pain or long-term illness. Where relevant, Miriam will consider how guilt, shame or isolation feed into depression or anxiety. Her background includes work with people navigating intimacy-related concerns and relationship separation.
Sessions begin with a practical conversation about needs and goals. Miriam asks about what brought someone to counselling and what they hope to get from the work. From there she and the client decide how to proceed and how often to meet.
Psychodynamic work online and how it can help
Miriam uses psychodynamic therapy to look at recurring patterns in relationships and personal behaviour. This approach focuses on how early interactions shape current feelings and choices, and it can help with anxiety, relationship struggles and issues around identity.Working online still allows for reflective conversations about attachment, abandonment and family of origin themes. The therapist and client review what comes up together and choose ways of working that fit the person's needs and goals. This is a collaborative process where approach and pace are agreed as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, remove travel time and allow people to attend from different locations within the United Kingdom. They can also offer shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or allow for video or audio conversations depending on what the therapist offers. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the structure to suit practical day-to-day life and therapeutic aims.
