About Mirriam
Mirriam Ekei Buo is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems and relationship concerns. She works with people facing grief, depression, LGBT issues, family conflict and compassion fatigue. She welcomes conversations about intimacy, self-esteem and career pressures in a calm, non-judgemental way.
Mirriam uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions are aimed at making practical changes and at understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking alongside client-centred practice. That means she pays attention to relationships from the past and present, and focuses on what the client feels matters most. Mirriam uses these tools to look at issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and communication problems.
She has five years' experience in mental health settings including the NHS, higher education and employee assistance programmes. Her background means she is used to supporting people through life transitions, divorce and bereavement as well as complex emotional pain.
People who come to Mirriam can expect a calm, respectful environment where practical steps and longer-term understanding are balanced. To begin, readers are invited to use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to match and schedule a first appointment.
