About Miriam
Miriam Berry is a psychotherapist and counsellor with four years' experience, and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and pays particular attention to LGBT issues, neurodiversity and grief.
Miriam uses a psychodynamic approach. She looks at current behaviours and relationships and how early experiences may have shaped them. That means talking about patterns that repeat and where they might have started.
Sessions are focused on understanding why certain feelings, such as guilt and shame, keep coming up. Miriam will help people notice how old coping habits affect present life. Conversations aim to make those patterns clearer so clients can decide whether to keep them or change them.
She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related problems, self-esteem struggles, and life changes such as divorce or fertility challenges. Practical issues like chronic illness, caring for someone at the end of life, and isolation are included in her work.
Miriam describes the therapy relationship as important for progress. Early sessions are used to agree on what to work on and to see if her way of working fits the person's needs. The approach is conversational and reflective, with space to look back and forward.
How psychodynamic work and online sessions come together
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how early relationships and experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. It looks at repeating patterns, such as recurring guilt or attachment issues, and helps people understand why those patterns continue to influence their choices and relationships.In practice Miriam uses conversation and reflection to trace links between past and present. This way of working can be helpful for issues like grief, identity questions, relationship patterns and longstanding shame. The aim is to make those patterns more visible so a person can make more informed choices about change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miriam will collaborate with each person to decide what to focus on and how to work together. She discusses options openly and adapts the pace and focus to the client's needs and preferences.
The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to attend from different locations. If you want to know which session formats are offered, please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online meetings to make therapy more accessible and to help clients maintain continuity alongside everyday life.
