Miriam Berry supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also helps with relationship concerns, LGBT matters, eating issues, grief and intimacy-related difficulties. Miriam works with those coping with life changes and a range of related struggles such as isolation and feelings of guilt or shame.

She uses psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how early experiences shape present behaviours and relationships. Sessions focus on the patterns that keep causing pain and on making different choices.

Background and approach

Miriam emphasises the relationship between counsellor and client as central to the work. In a first meeting she will discuss what you want and whether her approach fits your needs. The first session is practical and straightforward - a chance to say what brought you and to agree on next steps.

People often start by talking about current problems and how these link to past experience. Miriam has four years of clinical experience. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP.

That membership is noted exactly as supplied. Therapy with Miriam tends to be reflective and conversational. She aims to create a space where people can say hard things and begin to understand their patterns.

The goal is clearer choice about how to act and relate, rather than quick fixes. Work is suitable for those interested in exploring deep-rooted patterns connected to attachment, abandonment, family of origin issues, neurodiversity and gender-related concerns. Sessions take account of each person's pace and needs as the work unfolds.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of thinking and relating. In practice this involves talking through current difficulties and noticing recurring themes that link back to past experience. It can help with issues such as attachment problems, abandonment fears and relationship difficulties. The work is conversational and reflective, focusing on feelings, memories and repeating patterns. Miriam will collaborate with each person to choose ways of working that suit their goals and preferences. Together they will decide whether the psychodynamic approach should be the main focus or combined with other ways of working. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter, flexible exchanges or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options let people maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes, while choosing the method that matches their daily routine and comfort.
