About Mirriam

Mirriam Ekei Buo is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. Mirriam encourages clients to use their own strengths while making changes, and she offers steady support through hard moments.

She practises using ideas from attachment-based work, client-centred therapy and psychodynamic approaches. In sessions she listens for patterns from past relationships and current life that affect how someone relates to others and to themselves. Conversations aim to make those patterns clearer and to create new ways of coping.

Mirriam has five years of experience across the NHS, higher education, employee assistance programmes and other mental health services. That background gives her practical experience with a wide range of presenting concerns and everyday pressures.

She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients at this time.

Practical matters such as cost use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online care

Mirriam uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early and current relationships shape feelings and responses. That approach can help when someone struggles with trust, abandonment or repeating old relationship patterns.

She also draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's pace. This helps people who need a steady, respectful space to talk through feelings and make choices.

Choosing a style is usually a joint process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which ideas suit their goals and personality. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and Mirriam will check in about what is proving most helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that is useful. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists offer online therapy in ways that aim to match practical needs and daily routines.
