About Miriam
Miriam Berry is a psychotherapist and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues. She also supports people facing relationship pain, intimacy concerns, grief, eating struggles and life changes, including codependency and problems around attachment.
Miriam welcomes conversations about LGBTQ matters, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and parent-adult child relationships. She discusses needs in the first session to see whether her way of working fits the person seeking help. That first meeting is used to agree how to proceed and what to focus on.
Her approach is psychodynamic. That means she pays attention to patterns in how people relate now and how early experiences may have shaped those patterns. Sessions look at recurring behaviours, feelings of abandonment or control issues, and how these link back to family of origin and past losses.
In practical terms Miriam will help a person name repeated patterns, understand where they come from, and consider different choices. Work can include talking through painful feelings, exploring intimacy and communication struggles, and noticing how attachment needs influence current relationships.
She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and books a first session using the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Psychodynamic work and online sessions
Miriam practises using psychodynamic therapy, which pays attention to patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape present behaviour. This approach helps when someone keeps repeating relationship habits, struggles with abandonment feelings, or wants to understand longstanding anxiety or low self-worth.She also focuses on themes that often come up together with psychodynamic work, such as attachment issues, family of origin problems and how neurodiversity can affect relating. These threads are used to make sense of current difficulties rather than to label a person.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miriam will help the person decide what to try first based on their concerns, goals and what feels manageable. That choice is made together and can be adjusted as sessions progress.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered. Please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when days are tight, or remove the need to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and how to make sessions work alongside everyday life.
