About Miriam
Miriam Berry helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, eating concerns, self‑esteem and LGBT-related matters. Miriam also works with people affected by chronic illness, disability and issues around fertility and gender dysphoria.
She is a BACP member, and brings four years of practice to each conversation. She offers a calm, conversational style and focuses on building a strong working relationship first.
Background and approach
Miriam aims to make the first sessions practical and easy to follow so people feel more comfortable as they continue. She invites clients to talk about immediate problems and the goals they want to set. Miriam uses psychodynamic therapy to help people notice patterns in their relationships and behaviour.
This approach looks at how early experiences shape current ways of thinking and relating. Understanding those patterns can make it easier to choose different responses in daily life. Therapy sessions include exploring current difficulties alongside the life story that lies behind them.
Miriam pays attention to emotions, recurring themes and significant relationships that affect wellbeing. Together the work is about gaining clarity and trying out new ways of being. People who prefer a thoughtful, reflective approach may find this helpful.
Miriam encourages open discussion about how therapy is going and adjusts the work to fit each person’s needs. To start, she invites prospective clients to meet and see whether they can work well together.

How Miriam works online
Miriam’s work is reflective and relationship-focused. She aims to explore emotions, recurring themes and how people relate to others. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - she will work with each person to decide what fits their needs and goals as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that don’t require being on camera, depending on what is agreed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that remote sessions help people stay consistent with their plans and make therapy more accessible alongside everyday commitments.
