Mirriam Ekei Buo is a UK-based counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, LGBT issues and challenges around self-esteem and intimacy. Mirriam speaks English and works from a perspective that values each person's strengths and story.

Mirriam practises in an integrative way that draws on attachment-based, client-centred and psychodynamic approaches. Sessions usually focus on understanding how early relationships and current patterns shape feelings and behaviour.

Background and approach

She aims to create a space where people can talk honestly about difficult experiences and try out new ways of relating to themselves and others. Her background includes work in mental health agencies, the National Health Service and higher education, as well as employee assistance programmes.

This variety has given Mirriam experience with a wide range of presenting concerns, from trauma and bereavement to workplace stress and compassion fatigue. Mirriam is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP. She has five years' experience in the field and uses that experience to offer steady, thoughtful support.

Mirriam encourages practical steps alongside reflection so people can notice gradual changes in day-to-day life. To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they most want to change and to bring that into sessions. Mirriam works collaboratively, helping clients set goals and check progress as therapy continues.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work explores how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. This approach helps when patterns of closeness or distance keep repeating and cause stress or relationship strain.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the person. It helps people find their own solutions and build confidence in making changes.

Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring themes and hidden feelings that affect day-to-day life. This can be useful for understanding long-standing patterns, grief, or feelings of emptiness.

Mirriam treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which ideas to use and how to try them out in sessions.

If you are thinking about online therapy, check the available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Different ways of meeting can also suit quieter or lower-bandwidth setups, so discuss practical needs when you begin scheduling.
