About Mirriam
BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. Five years' experience. Mirriam Ekei Buo works from the United Kingdom and talks with people about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, LGBT matters and related concerns.
Mirriam practises as an integrative counsellor and draws on attachment-based, client-centred and psychodynamic ideas. She keeps sessions focused on the person in front of her and on the stories that brought them to counselling. Conversations look at relationships, past experiences and current patterns that affect wellbeing.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. She helps people notice strengths and use those to face difficulties. Practical matters such as sleeping problems, work stress and relationship friction are common topics in her work.
Mirriam has worked in several mental health settings, higher education and employee assistance programmes. That background informs how she supports people through grief, career worries and compassion fatigue. She also helps with attachment and abandonment concerns and other relational issues.
People meet her to address intimacy-related difficulties, body image or low self-esteem, and to talk through separation or blended family challenges. Sessions can also include longer standing personality or dependency concerns and problems with communication and control.
To start, a person selects the See online counselling options button, completes a short matching questionnaire and books a first session. The subscription payment model is used and can be cancelled at any time.
How Mirriam uses attachment and client-centred ideas online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this looks like mapping how people relate to others and noticing where old responses appear in present relationships. It can help with abandonment, attachment issues and repeating relationship cycles.Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing and follows what the client brings, supporting people to find their own understanding and next steps. Psychodynamic ideas add attention to unconscious patterns and themes that repeat across time, which can be useful for long-standing issues and family of origin problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mirriam will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she will adjust the focus as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process between counsellor and client.
Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you want to begin, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Registered or accredited professionals often help people manage stress, grief and relational difficulties using these methods online.
