Mariam is wonderful

Mariam is wonderful. I cannot express enough how transformative my experience has been. Before working with Mariam my anxiety kept me isolated, not able to leave the house. My self esteem and inner critic controlled my life. Through Mariams patient and professional guidance using EMDR and CBT, I was given tools I never imagined I would have. What stands out most is how safe I felt, I trusted her completely and was not afraid to open up. My life has been changed in ways I did not think possible! I am deeply grateful for her kindness and expertise. If you are looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also truly caring, I cannot recommend Mariam enough.

When I first started appointments with…

When I first started appointments with Dr Mariam I was suffering with anxiety, panic attacks and vasovagal episodes that were beginning to take over my life and I was starting to wonder if things would ever improve.
Dr Mariam created a safe, calm and supported space where I felt relaxed and truly heard and understood, she helped me understand what was happening in my body and mind.
Through her guidance I learned practical tools and techniques that I could use when feelings of anxiety rose, giving me skills to manage and overcome them independently.
Over time with her help, I began building a sense of control I hadn’t felt in a while. Instead of fearing the panic I started facing it with confidence and resilience.
Because of her support I feel like I’m getting my life back on track and starting to do things again I was avoiding.
I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone facing similar challenges to contact Dr Mariam for support and help.

Following a car accident

Following a car accident, I was recommended to try this, and although I initially had my doubts, the experience turned out to be incredibly supportive and welcoming. The improvements I've seen have been remarkable, and Mariam's assistance was invaluable in navigating through this period. I'm truly grateful.

Where do i start.

Where do i start.. Mariam is an angel. I have tried counselling a few times in the past , I didn’t feel connected to my psychologist enough and didn’t feel engaged in what we were doing, I think i was always too skeptical in believing that talking to a stranger could fix what felt like the unfixable. Then in March this year i met Mariam.

We’ve been through countless weeks of EMDR therapy, talking about my past life events, current issues which have caused my mental health to take a really bad turn. With her patience, persistence and caring nature , we were able to process the reasons for all of the negative thoughts and behaviours I was displaying and the thought processes behind them that were negatively impacting my life. Fast forward 6 months and I honestly have never felt so care free and able to tackle life now i have the right tools which have been instilled in me by Mariam to help me if ever i do feel myself having a wobble in the future.

I would recommend Mariam to absolutely anyone who feels stuck or lost or even unsure of life for whatever reason. She really is worth her weight in gold and i will be forever grateful for the hard work and time she has put in with me so I could come out the other side a better and happier person .

Thank you Mariam ❤️

For someone who was perhaps cynical at first in seeming hep this way my eyes were opened and Mariam was a massive help to me.

For anyone thinking about doing the same then please don’t hesitate , it’s helped me understand myself more and provided me crucial insight not only into how my brain works but how to deal with life better.

Thank you Mariam

A life changing experience

I embarked on my therapeutic journey with Mariam feeling stuck and out of control of my life and managing my emotions. I have finished working with Mariam experiencing a sense of self that I have not experienced before, having gained compassion towards myself and the things I struggle with in a way I never thought possible. Working with Mariam has fundamentally changed the way in which I view myself and my presenting issues and has allowed me to build a greater relationship with myself and my loved ones. Working with Mariam has allowed me to take ownership of my life and learn how to be truly compassionate towards myself and the parts of myself that I struggle to acknowledge.

I have been working with Mariam on a long term basis for the last couple of years to navigate and recover from experiences from my childhood that impeded my functioning in everyday life. Mariam helped me understand that what I was experiencing were symptoms of Complex PTSD and over time she has worked with me to navigate how to understand myself better and recover from those early traumatic experiences. This work has positively impacted all of my adult relationships and helped me build a greater sense of intimacy and connection with the primary relationships in my life and build a greater sense of trust and safety in how I approach all relationships with others.

Mariam works in a relational way that ensures you navigate the process of addressing your problems in a way that is considered and paced to what you feel comfortable with. I worked with Mariam in a blended approach using EMDR and other therapeutic approaches to work holistically to create safety and address my traumatic experiences in a paced and considered way. Mariam is able to provide a safe, compassionate space to explore whatever you feel comfortable bringing into the therapy room. Mariam listens, reflects and where appropriate challenges you in a unique and highly empathic way. Mariam works with you in a way that is highly attuned and compassionate. I have been able to feel safe exploring experiences and issues I have never been able to previously because of the therapeutic relationship Mariam has created with me.

I will always feel incredibly lucky that I was able to work with Mariam and grateful for the kindness, compassion and empathy she showed me consistently throughout an incredibly difficult time in my life. My experience of working with Mariam has helped improve every aspect of my life.

If you are considering therapy but are scared of what to expect I can assure you that Mariam will guide you through the process seamlessly. Mariam's wide range of experience also means she can work with you along the way to adapt her approach to what you need.

My experience of working with Mariam has changed the course of my life and provided a therapeutic experience which has been truly healing and transformational. I could not have imagined how impactful working with Mariam would have been when I started working with her; my expectations of therapy and what it can offer have been exceeded.

I can guarantee you will not regret embarking on a therapeutic journey with Mariam, she is a true expert in her field.

Don’t hesitate if you’re struggling!

I came to Mariam at my lowest point with Complex PTSD and body flashbacks, after other therapies had failed me. Her compassion, deep knowledge, and unique approach helped me make sense of my symptoms and finally begin to heal. She combined EMDR and talk therapy with insight and care I hadn’t experienced before. Mariam gave me hope, and the tools, to get my life back. I can honestly say she changed, and saved my life. I’ll always be grateful.

A Lifesaving Piece of the Puzzle

I made some very bad life decisions that led to horrendous burnout. It felt like life was slipping through my hands — my memory, speech, and cognition all started failing. I was haunted by intrusive thoughts, constantly reliving what I had done.

Mariam was the first person, out of so many I sought help from, who actually explained what was happening inside my brain. She told me my amygdala was in overdrive, and that I had been stuck in fight-or-flight for far too long.

While other so-called “experts” just wanted to medicate me, Mariam gave me practical advice. The weekly check-ins kept me accountable and pushed me to actually implement the changes we discussed.

She was without a doubt a crucial piece of the puzzle that saved my life. It got very, very dark — but because of her, I found my way back.

EMDR therapy

I met Mariam after having a traumatic health event and suffering from PTSD having regular flashbacks and non-epileptic attacks, her understanding and patients to take things very slow was so helpful in my recovery, after completing EMDR with her, i have overcome so much.

EMDR Therapy

I completed EMDR therapy with Mariam after suffering with PTSD following two dog attacks, Mariam helped me gain my confidence and life back. The experience helped me process unresolved trauma and it gave me the tools to deal with the constant anxiety and helped me cope with the lack of control you have in life. The process also highlighted some unresolved childhood issues that were impacting my experiences as an adult.

I am hugely appreciative of Mariam for helping me through the toughest time of my life and helping me understand myself a lot better. Those closest to me have noticed how much better I am at coping with life in several aspects.

I am eternally grateful for Mariam being so thorough and empathetic to my situation and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for improving my daily life!

Couldn’t recommend enough

I was recommended to see Mariam by a friend when I was struggling with chronic headaches, worried about my health and generally feeling low. I was a bit reluctant at first as I’d never had therapy and wasn’t sure if I needed it but it is hands down the best decision I’ve ever made.

I feel so lucky that Mariam was the person I got in contact with. She is easy to talk to, compassionate and super knowledgeable . She is clearly very experienced and just seems to know when you need a more scientific explanation to explain patterns of behaviour or simply just some humour. She is also able to challenge you on things but in a good way which actually gives new perspective .

I have learned so much about the relationship between the mind and body. Not only have my physical symptoms improved, my work life and family relationships have improved massively. I have learned so much about myself and others, and have also managed to process past traumas through EDMR therapy.

I feel 10 stone lighter and have a sense of direction and a self confidence that I always wanted. Anyone on the fence about trying therapy, you won’t regret it. Thank you Mariam, eternally grateful.

I was referred after a road traffic accident, and at first I wasn't sure how well I would take to it, but I was made to feel comfortable and supported throughout my sessions. The progress I made has surprised me and I couldn't have gone through what I needed to without Mariam's help. Thank You

Couldn't recommend more

Mariam has guided me through EMDR to work through a series of challenges I've faced due to complex trauma. She is incredibly professional, kind, empathetic, and intentional in her approach. She also respectfully challenged me when appropriate. This resulted in me really digging into and reflecting more deeply on my experiences and their consequences, and unpicking my perceptions of certain emotions that I found hard to connect with.

I found her approach empowering because she took time to explain the science behind the impact of traumatic experiences and how the body and mind reacts. This really helped me understand what I was experiencing and why.

I really couldn't recommend Mariam more.

I would highly recommend Mariam she is lovely, really puts you at ease and is very easy to talk to. Mariam is very knowledgeable in her field and will even expand her knowledge to help you. Our sessions were always relaxed and I felt comfortable but she will push you when she thinks it will help (always with permission). I have definitely learned a lot about myself and have put some of it into practice at work. I was worried to start with as I had blocked a lot but we made a lot of progress and I will be eternally grateful. Unfortunately as we said a number of times there is not a magic wand to fix problems but Mariam has gone a long way to helping me in the right direction. Thank you x

Mariam is wonder woman in disguise

Mariam is wonder woman in disguise! 30+ years of battling depression, anxiety and low self esteem with medications galore, psychiatrist, GPs etc and nothing much changed. So much so that I was hopeless and didnt want to be here anymore. Mariam helped me realise what my real issues were and where they stemed from. She helped me understand myself, how and why I react to people and situations. I can now recognise how to deal with my feelings and reactions and put techniques and thoughts into practice to deal with things I never could before. I have never felt so unloaded and in control. Im starting to socialise for the first time in 15 years, am more confident, enjoying work and life. People are even noticing this. 1 hour session a week for about 8 weeks and this is the result! Amazing honestly. Mariam tailored a mix of clinical psychological therapies for my individual difficulties. I whole heartedly recommend Mariam's treatment plan, you won't regret it, she is the best in the business and a lovely woman to boot. I will miss speaking to her and will always be so greatful ♡ Thank you so much Mariam x

Mariam genuinely changed my life

Mariam genuinely changed my life! She is a very knowledgeable and experienced therapist and I felt in really expert, safe hands. Mariam explored some difficult times with me and was able to use her skills very sensitively. She allowed me to tell her my story and work through the associated thoughts and feelings. I enjoyed my ‘homework’ and all of the theory she shared with me. It was a very blended approach and we were able to explore different methods of therapy with some sessions planned and some quite spontaneous. I am now at a point where I no longer need to see Miriam but know she is there should I relapse. You can’t put a price on good mental health. Mariam you are an expert in your field and I am so pleased our paths crossed.

Mariam is an exceptional therapist

Mariam is an exceptional therapist, with a thorough and detailed understanding of the complexities of trauma. Her knowledge and work ethic is quite remarkable, and it is safe to say that without her guidance, I could not have even imagined the future I’m about to embark on now.

Highly recommended

Mariam created a calm, safe, space in which she listened intensely. Her empathy, deep understanding, sensitivity and professional expertise helped guide me towards a peaceful, stronger state of mind. In the process she helped me release a weight of grief and distress I’d buried for years.
