About Mirriam
Mirriam Ekei Buo is a BACP therapist practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with people dealing with depression, stress and anxiety, LGBT concerns, family difficulties, grief and loss. Her focus includes relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems and low self-esteem.
She has worked in several mental health settings including NHS services, higher education and employee assistance programmes. That background means she is used to hearing about everyday pressures such as work stress, caregiving strain and family conflict. She helps people who are coping with change, loss or ongoing tension at home.
Her way of working treats the client as an expert in their own story. Sessions are client-centred and explore how past attachments or patterns may shape current problems. Conversations aim to make sense of feelings, identify what is getting in the way, and find practical ways to respond differently.
Mirriam draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at relationships and long-standing patterns. She uses client-centred principles to keep sessions focused on what the person wants to address. This combination is often used with concerns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, family of origin problems and blended family issues.
People might bring issues like caregiver stress, body image worries, commitment or control problems, or difficulties after divorce and separation. Mirriam will listen, reflect, and help clients plan small steps they can try between sessions. If you are thinking about therapy, confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Mirriam commonly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This approach can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues or repeating relationship patterns.She also works in a client-centred way, which means conversations focus on the person's priorities and perspective. This method suits people who want to be listened to and to set the pace and topics of sessions themselves.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mirriam will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will review what helps and adjust the focus as the sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with her when you arrange the first appointment about what will work best for your routine and needs.
