About Mirriam
Mirriam Ekei Buo welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or relationship struggles. She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP and works from the United Kingdom. Mirriam writes plainly and offers steady support while people talk through difficult moments.
She believes clients know their own stories and brings that belief into each session. Mirriam listens without judgement and helps people notice strengths they already have.
How Mirriam works
She aims to make the step into therapy feel manageable and humane. Her background includes work in NHS services, higher education, employee assistance programmes and other mental health agencies. That range has given her experience with issues such as depression, grief, family conflict and LGBT-related concerns.
Mirriam uses approaches that help explore relationships, early patterns and present difficulties. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred principles and psychodynamic work to look at how past experiences shape current reactions. Sessions focus on practical conversation, clearer understanding and small changes that make daily life easier.
Mirriam supports people through career strain, sleep problems, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue as well as more complex issues like trauma or attachment wounds. To begin, people complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses and trust. Online sessions can provide space to talk about attachment wounds, closeness and boundaries while noticing how relationships show up now.Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, with an emphasis on being heard and respected. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, non-judgemental space to make sense of difficult feelings or life changes.
Psychodynamic work explores patterns that run beneath conscious choices, including repeated relationship themes and longstanding anxieties. That process can help people understand why they react a certain way and consider new options.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. Over a few sessions Mirriam will adapt the work as the relationship and priorities become clearer.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week, avoiding travel time and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the available options before booking to ensure they suit your routine and circumstances.
