About Mariam
Mariam Nakabugo welcomes visitors with a clear, compassionate voice. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of practice supporting adults through difficult moments. Mariam focuses on making sessions calm and approachable so people feel able to talk honestly about what is troubling them.
She helps people facing anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship struggles, work stress, grief and coping with big life changes.
Background and approach
Mariam has experience with trauma and abuse, and she helps clients who are working through addiction, anger or intimacy-related issues. Her method is rooted in client-centred work that puts the person’s experience first. She uses solution-focused techniques to help set practical steps and small goals between sessions.
Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person’s needs. Mariam offers culturally aware care and has a background supporting people from diverse communities. She can include Christian values in sessions when a client requests faith-based discussion.
Her aim is to respect each person’s story and priorities while offering steady support. Practical therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and scheduling follows the site’s matching and booking process.

Approaches Mariam lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses solution-focused therapy to turn conversations into small, practical steps. That approach looks for existing strengths and past successes, then builds simple goals to try between sessions. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, relationship issues and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful, try techniques together and adjust based on the person’s needs and preferences. Clients and therapist agree on goals and the pace of work as they go.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls suit longer conversations where visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for people who prefer writing or need ongoing brief support between calls. These options help make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
