About Mirriam
Mirriam Ekei Buo is a BACP therapist based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and relationship concerns. She also works with clients on LGBT issues and blended family issues.
She uses a straightforward approach that treats the client as the expert on their life. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that can make daily life easier. Sessions aim to identify recurring patterns and try different ways of relating and communicating.
Her background includes work across mental health agencies, the NHS, higher education and an employee assistance programme. That variety has exposed her to a wide range of life difficulties and practical pressures people bring to therapy. This informs a practical, realistic style in sessions.
Mirriam draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current ones. She also uses client-centred listening so a person can lead the pace of their work. Psychodynamic thinking is used when looking at deeper repeating patterns and long-standing emotional themes.
People coming to her often want help with communication problems, coping with major life change, or repairing trust after loss or separation. Sessions are conversational and focused on finding manageable steps, not on labels or laboured explanations.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions can use this approach to unpick patterns in parenting or stepfamily dynamics and to map how people react in stressful moments.Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre. In an online conversation the therapist listens and follows the client's priorities, helping them set the pace and practical goals for change.
Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeating themes and emotional patterns. Online meetings can provide the space to reflect on long-standing issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns or family of origin problems.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and help the client choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and will be reviewed together.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can also make short check-ins possible when a quick conversation helps manage a stressful day. Please confirm the current session formats before booking to know which options are available.
