Mirriam Ekei Buo

I am a qualified integrative psychotherapist with a Master of Arts in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton. With experience in various settings including the NHS, higher education and a low-cost mental health service, I have a broad range of experience backed by my understanding of key theories in person-centred, Psychodynamic.

I have lived and worked in different countries, gaining diverse life experiences and worldviews. I understand the complexities of living in an ever-changing world and appreciate the human drive to evolve, change and grow. I believe therapy is a place where clients can explore the different parts of themselves and expand their tools to live in these times.

Therapy is a unique experience for every person, which is why I believe in working in collaboration with the clients, based on their needs and preferences, trusting in the person’s strength to find their own path to emotional and mental well-being. I believe the most important element of therapy is the relationship and trust between the therapist and the client. It is my hope that with a positive therapeutic relationship, we can explore the issues that have brought you to therapy, working towards your agreed goals.  

I work by integrating multiple approaches, depending on what is suitable for each person. Sometimes referring to the psychodynamic approach to bring thoughts, behaviour patterns and emotions to the client’s awareness by exploring past experiences.
