Welcome!
Thank you for visiting my page. My name is Mariam, and I am licensed Person-Centred Therapist based in the UK with over 7 years of experience.
My therapy style is warm, encouraging and empowering. I try and work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear or judgment.
I have experience in supporting men and women who suffer from a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, work related stress, family conflicts, loneliness, trauma and loss.
I also specialize in offering culturally sensitive counselling support tailored to Black, Asian, Middle Eastern and Minority women who have experienced all forms of abuse and violence. This includes physical abuse, emotional abuse, forced marriage, rape, sexual abuse, financial control, coercive control, female genital mutilation, harmful practices which includes so-called honour-based violence.
I am very passionate about supporting people. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes a lot of courage. I want you to know that I am here to support you in this process and to help you to move forward.
If you're interested in working with me please feel free to message me or have a look at my availability to see what time would suit you best to have a session with me.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

kind and empathetic, listen and very supportive. we all need a therapist like mine.
Lovely therapist. Made me feel very comfortable from day 1. Really good listener and equips you with tools to really explore your feelings and work through any issues you might have. I also appreciate that Mariam is a person of faith and this has been a much welcomed part of our therapy sessions.
She is such a good listener and is patient with you. She is professional and supportive and I would recommend her to anyone looking to start therapy.
I’ve had a wonderful experience as Mariam being my therapist. She’s extremely supportive and knowledgeable and I always feel better after our sessions. Thank you for the excellent quality of therapy.
Mariam is very personable and attentive. She has been very helpful and supportive during my healing journey. Would recommend her ten times over
fantastic therapist, flexible and challenges limiting beliefs.
A listening therapist with Christian based values
I feel like I got very lucky with a therapist like Mariam. I have had different therapists in the last 10+ years and the way Mariam is (still professionally) engaged with me is new to me. She’s a good listener, holds space, replies in a very timely manner (actually usually almost immediately!), expresses care and makes me feel safe. I am very grateful to have been paired with her.
Mariam is a fantastic therapist. I feel very fortunate to have her as my therapist as she is super response, so supportive and truly understands me and my perspective. I’ve had several therapists in the past and Mariam knocks them all out of the park.
Culturally relevant, smart, listens, forward thinking, understanding, inspiring, problem solver and pragmatic.
very understanding, insightfull perspective. makes me feel understood, polite and kind, addresses my issues in a way that allows me to incorporate my personasl values. this has been worthwhile experience.
Mariam is amazing. She makes therapy smooth as I was able to share my thoughts with her and she was a great listener. She also understands me completely and guides me on the right path. Can’t wait for more sessions with her
I have found my sessions with Mariam very helpful. Mariam is insightful and draws from a lot of experience. She is very positive and encouraging. She is very quick to respond and available to meet, making me feel well cared for. She has been very precious in helping me tease out meanings and setting in place frameworks/strategies to help me handle the problems I have been facing.
A wonderful and encouraging woman! She's a great listener and always seeking to understand, help and support. She has also provided me with several resources to help in my journey
Miriam is great. She is a great listener and in the short time that I have spoken with her I really feel like I have found a great therapist. I love her approach and the environment that she creates during sessions. I feel safe and heard and motivated. I would highly recommend her.
I could not be happier with Mariam. She is the sweetest therapist. She gives great advice, she's funny, flexible and punctual, and of course very professional. She's always very responsive and makes sure you leave every session feeling less heavy. Definitely recommend her and Better Help, as they have great customer service too.
Mariam is a wonderful therapist, very easy to engage with and talk to and offers insightful advice and direction. Communication is always open via the app and she is very responsive. Thank you for the support.
Mariam is brilliant at what she does . So helpful !
Fantastic therapist with very good listening skills. She shows empathy and does not make me feel judged. She’s always smiling and pleasant which is a bonus.
Mariam is everything I could have asked for in a therapist. We share backgrounds, beliefs and cultural experiences to an extent, which makes sessions a lot more relatable and enjoyable. She's kind and understanding, and very encouraging. I always look forward to the next session after speaking to her!
Mariam is super lovely and very good at listening and helping with problems. She is very gentle in her approach to therapy and a very kind person. She is already in a short time helping me improve my confidence and I really appreciate being able to talk to her. Thank you so much Mariam!
