Mariam Nakabugo offers calm, practical support for adults facing difficult life moments. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, work stress, grief and trauma. Mariam aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear so people can decide what matters most to them.

Mariam uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on the client's experience. She listens without judgement and helps people find their own strengths and choices.

Background and approach

Sessions are paced to each person, whether they prefer gentle reflection or more action-focused conversations. She also uses solution-focused ideas to help people spot small changes that make a real difference. Those steps can be useful for everyday stresses, coping through change, or working through specific problems such as addiction, anger or intimacy-related concerns.

Mariam has ten years of experience supporting adults with a wide range of concerns. Her practice includes support for issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image concerns among others. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Mariam works with English-speaking adults in the United Kingdom and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

How Mariam’s approaches translate to online therapy

Mariam uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the client's experience and priorities. In practice this means sessions begin with listening and reflection, and move at the client's pace to help them feel understood and make clear choices.

She also applies solution-focused techniques to spot practical, achievable steps. This approach helps when people want to resolve a specific issue or build new everyday habits, such as coping with stress, improving communication, or managing low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Mariam will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt the balance of listening and action as needed. The process is collaborative so the client helps shape what feels most useful.

Online sessions can fit around busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing contact and note-like reflections for people who prefer not to use voice or video. These options aim to make therapy flexible and accessible for different routines and needs.
