Miriam Berry, BACP

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how past relationships and early life shape current feelings and habits. In practice this means talking about recurring patterns, everyday reactions and important relationships to help make sense of why things feel difficult now. It is often used for problems like anxiety, grief, attachment difficulties and long-standing relationship patterns. Miriam approaches this work collaboratively. She will listen to your concerns, check what matters most to you and together decide which ideas and techniques to try. Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will adapt the work to your goals and preferences. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls let you have a closer conversational feel; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins, ongoing support between calls or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options give flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep therapy going from different places.
