“It was a huge relief and joy speaking with someone who relates with my beliefs and not ashamed/ scared to show it irrespective of the setting. Mariam, thank you for paying great attention to me throughout our sessions and made it so easy to speak up even when I tried to hold back. That is a strength you have and a great tool to use in helping others.”

“Mariam is wonderful and has carried us through what is a challenging time for our relationship. She is calm, approachable, listens and offers the appropriate questions which helped us to think through and discover what the issues are.

Key Focus Areas
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience: couple issues, cultural issues, employment difficulties and mental health issues.
Therapeutic approach
My approach is compassionate, culturally competent, and rooted in a deep understanding of the social and environmental factors influencing mental health. I am experienced in risk management and evidence-based frameworks to enhance care outcomes for individuals and families.
I use an eclectic integrative, evidence-based approach that prioritises collaboration, non-oppressive methods, and client safety. I offer individual, couples and family therapy, professional development coaching, and systemic consultations, working with diverse clients across independent, private and organisational health/social care sectors.
