Mirriam Ekei Buo

Mirriam Ekei Buo is a BACP registered member with five years' experience working from the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and LGBT issues, as well as career uncertainty and coping with life changes. Mirriam also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy-related concerns, sleeping difficulties and low self-esteem.

Her background includes roles in mental health agencies, the NHS, higher education and employee assistance programmes. That variety means she has met many different ways people get stuck and need change. In sessions she treats the person as the expert of their own story and looks for strengths to build on.

Mirriam uses approaches drawn from attachment-based, client-centred and psychodynamic work. She pays attention to relationship patterns from the past and how those patterns affect current choices. Conversations focus on understanding feelings and making practical changes that fit everyday life.

People often come to her when life shifts leave them unsure of what comes next. Whether it is grief, career doubts or ongoing worry, she helps people name the problem and try manageable steps forward. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the client wants to address.

Practical matters are handled simply. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session fees vary with location. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and trust. Online conversations using this lens focus on recurring dynamics in relationships and how those patterns show up now, which can help with intimacy and attachment concerns.

Client-centred work places the client's experience at the centre and uses active listening and reflection. In an online setting this means sessions are driven by what the person brings each week and by clear, responsive listening from the counsellor to help clarify priorities and next steps.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to longer-standing themes and how past events affect present behaviour. Online sessions can make it possible to notice repeating patterns and to talk through their roots while planning concrete changes for daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mirriam will discuss the methods that fit a person's needs, goals and preferences and will help decide together which elements to try first. The collaboration aims to match practical support to what the client wants to address.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexibility around location and timing. Registered or accredited professionals often find that remote sessions help maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable.
