She frames the client as the expert in their own story and offers steady support while people find their way forward.
Mirriam practises from an integrative stance and draws on approaches that suit the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She listens first and then works with each person to shape the sessions. That might mean looking at past patterns, strengthening current coping, or focusing on how to feel safer in relationships.

Approaches Mirriam lists

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre. The therapist offers empathic listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions and build self-confidence.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and past influences that affect current behaviour. It can be useful when people want to understand why they repeat certain choices or feel stuck in emotional cycles.
Finding the best approach is a shared task. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, worries and preferences, then recommend which methods to try. Plans can change as work progresses and what fits is reviewed together.
If you are considering online sessions, check the platform or profile for the exact formats offered. Confirming this before booking ensures the practical arrangements match your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use video or phone options, but please verify which are available with this therapist before scheduling.
