About Miriam
Miriam Berry is a psychotherapist and counsellor, registered with the BACP, with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem struggles, and she has particular experience with LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, eating difficulties, grief and intimacy-related problems.
Miriam uses psychodynamic therapy as her main approach. She focuses on how past experiences, especially early relationships, shape current behaviour and patterns. In sessions she helps people notice those patterns and decide whether to continue them or try new ways of relating.
She also pays attention to issues related to attachment, abandonment and codependency, and to the effects of chronic illness, disability or fertility challenges on everyday life. Neurodiversity, including autism and Asperger syndrome, is an area of interest alongside gender dysphoria and other identity questions.
Miriam aims to make the first meeting straightforward. The initial session is an opportunity to talk about what brought someone to therapy and to check that her approach fits their needs. She explains the psychodynamic ideas plainly and discusses practical next steps.
She holds professional membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How psychodynamic work adapts to online settings
Psychodynamic therapy explores how early relationships and past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. It pays attention to recurring patterns in relationships, attachment styles and issues such as abandonment or shame. This approach can help when someone wants to understand why they repeat certain relationship dynamics or struggle with intimacy.When addressing grief, identity or neurodiversity-related questions, psychodynamic work looks at internal meanings and patterns that affect day-to-day life. The therapist listens for themes that link past events to present reactions and brings these into discussion so a person can make different choices.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practicalities with the client and adjust how the work is done to suit their needs. Together they check whether psychodynamic focus is helpful or whether other ways of working should be introduced.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit around work or family time, reduce travel, and allow short check-ins when a longer in-person visit is difficult. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can be useful when a quieter environment or less screen time is needed.
