Her practice draws on attachment-based work, client-centred principles and psychodynamic ideas. These approaches are used to look at current difficulties and how past relationships can shape present feelings and reactions. Mirriam is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP.
She asks people to start with a short matching questionnaire so they can schedule sessions that fit their needs and availability. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Mirriam’s approaches shape online work
Mirriam draws on attachment-based work to notice how early relationships affect current feelings and closeness with others. This can help with fears around intimacy, abandonment and patterns in relationships.She also uses client-centred principles which place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means listening closely, reflecting what is said and helping people find their own solutions to stress, grief or low self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which ideas to follow. That way the work can shift over time as issues change or new priorities emerge.
Practical benefits of online therapy are that it can fit more easily around work and family life and reduce travel time. If you are checking whether online sessions suit you, confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Many people find shorter check-ins easier by phone, while longer conversations can work well on video; Mirriam can help pick what fits your routine and comfort.
