About Miriam
Miriam Berry is a psychotherapist who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and issues around self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship concerns, grief, intimacy-related worries, eating issues and the challenges of life changes. Miriam lists LGBT among her areas of focus and aims to make first contact easy and straightforward.
She meets people where they are and starts by discussing what brought them to therapy. Miriam values the relationship between counsellor and client and uses that connection to guide the work.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on understanding what is happening now and why. Miriam practises psychodynamic therapy. That approach looks at how early experiences shape patterns of behaviour and relationship styles.
In practical terms she helps people spot repeated patterns and consider alternatives to habitual responses. She has four years of experience and is a registered member of the BACP, which is listed as her credential. Miriam has a particular interest in neurodiversity, loss, and parent-adult child relationships, and she will discuss whether she can meet specific needs in the first session.
People often begin by describing a single problem and discovering broader themes that matter to them. Miriam aims to help clients understand their past influences and make clear choices about change. She invites potential clients to meet and see if they can work well together.

How psychodynamic thinking shapes online therapy
Miriam works from a psychodynamic perspective which looks at how early life experiences influence current feelings and relationships. This approach helps people notice recurring patterns and consider different choices about how to respond now.She also pays attention to attachment and how past relationships affect present connections. That can be useful for people struggling with abandonment, intimacy or repeated relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miriam will collaborate with each person to decide whether psychodynamic therapy fits their goals. She will adapt the focus as needs and priorities become clearer during sessions.
Regarding practicalities, the biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps them fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time and making it easier to schedule brief check-ins or regular sessions around work and family commitments. Online sessions can also make it simpler to keep continuity when life circumstances change, though exact formats should be checked with the therapist before starting.
