About Mariam
Mariam Baroudi helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures and low self‑esteem. She has 25 years of clinical and community experience in Australia and uses straightforward, practical ways to help people cope with life changes. Mariam works from a strengths-based, person-centred stance.
She listens first, then helps people notice what already works for them. Sessions focus on simple, usable skills and small steps that fit everyday life rather than long theory talks.
How Mariam works
Her background includes work in hospitals, community health services, schools and independent practice. That variety means she is used to different life circumstances and practical problems people bring to therapy. Her AASW credential is listed as background information about her professional standing.
Common issues Mariam supports include grief and loss, parenting challenges, feelings of emptiness or isolation, life purpose and midlife crisis. She also works with communication problems, divorce and separation concerns, control issues, and multicultural matters. Her style is collaborative and paced to each person.
Mariam aims to help people build confidence, find clearer direction and practise coping tools that last beyond sessions. She emphasises real-world strategies and ongoing learning. People interested in beginning can expect a calm, respectful approach where their goals guide each meeting.
Mariam aims to help people move from coping to a steadier sense of wellbeing over time.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Evidence-based approaches Mariam uses focus on practical skills and personal strengths. Person-centred work means sessions start with the person's priorities and move at their pace, helping with emotional support and clearer decision-making. Cognitive approaches involve noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and practising alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce stress and anxiety and build confidence.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals and preferences and will adjust methods over time if something is not working well. Sessions are guided by the person's daily life and what they want to change or improve.
Online therapy offers flexibility that helps people fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and expression matter. Phone sessions can be simpler when connections or camera use are difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, writing through thoughts, or pacing support across a week. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care, reduce travel time and fit therapy around work, study or family commitments.
