About Miriam
Miriam Berry helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and difficult life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, bereavement, eating concerns and challenges related to gender and sexual identity. Miriam is listed with the BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Miriam keeps the first meeting simple. She will talk with you about what brought you to therapy and whether her way of working meets your needs.
How Miriam works
Many people feel nervous before a first session, and she aims to make that conversation straightforward and calm. Her practice draws on psychodynamic therapy. That means she pays attention to patterns in relationships and behaviour that often begin in early life.
Together you will look at how past experiences shape present feelings and choices. Sessions focus on making those patterns easier to recognise. Once a pattern is seen, you can choose whether to keep it or to change it.
Miriam uses gentle questioning and reflective listening to help people make those discoveries. She has four years of clinical experience and works with a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, fertility worries, guilt and shame, end-of-life and hospice matters, isolation and searching for life purpose.
Miriam aims to build a trusting relationship so people can explore what matters to them and take practical steps forward.

Online support options
Psychodynamic work online and flexible session options
Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns in feelings and relationships that often link back to earlier life experiences. It helps people who notice repeating relationship problems, strong emotional reactions, or a sense of being stuck to understand why those patterns keep happening and what to do about them.In sessions Miriam listens for recurring themes and gently helps connect current struggles to past experiences. That process can make confusing feelings clearer and give people more choice about how they respond in relationships and daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Miriam will talk with you about your goals and preferences and decide together which ways of working suit you best. That collaborative process means the plan can change as you learn more about what helps.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let you see facial expressions and body language during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when you need a shorter check-in or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for people who prefer typing, need flexible timing, or want to reflect before replying. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments while keeping the focus on your needs and progress.
