About Mirriam
Mirriam Ekei Buo is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and those facing relationship or family concerns. She also supports clients with LGBT issues and coping with life changes.
She takes a conversational and reflective approach in sessions. Mirriam listens to each person’s story and helps them notice patterns that affect day-to-day life. She focuses on building understanding of how past relationships and attachment experiences influence current feelings and behaviour.
Mirriam blends client-centred conversations with psychodynamic thinking and attachment-based ideas. That mix aims to help people make sense of difficult emotions, manage anxiety, and improve communication with others. Sessions often involve talking through recent problems, looking at how childhood experiences shape responses, and trying out different ways of relating.
Her background includes roles in mental health agencies, the NHS, higher education and employee assistance programmes. That range of settings means she has worked with people from varied backgrounds and life stages, including those dealing with trauma, bereavement and workplace stress.
Practical matters are kept simple. Clients complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin, then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Mirriam draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred work and psychodynamic thinking to inform online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current closeness and trust, which can help with intimacy issues and relationship anxiety. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back a person’s experience to help them feel heard and make decisions. Psychodynamic ideas explore repeating patterns and hidden feelings that may underlie anxiety, low mood or relationship difficulties.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Mirriam will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps set practical steps and small tests to see what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, for example by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins on a lunch break. It also lets people join from wherever they are based within the UK, and therapists can adapt pace and focus to suit someone who finds social situations or being observed hard.
