Welcome to Mariam’s Therapy & Coaching Services
Compassionate Online Therapy & Coaching for South London and Across the UK
A Safe, Supportive Space for Therapy and Coaching
I’m Mariam, a Person-Centred Therapist with over 10 years’ experience providing therapy and counselling to adults from a wide range of backgrounds, offering online sessions across the UK .
My therapeutic approach is warm, encouraging, and empowering. I offer a safe, open, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel heard, supported, and understood.
I work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework, ensuring my practice is professional, respectful, and client-centred.
Professional Background
I have worked across a range of professional settings, including the NHS, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), online therapy platforms, addiction support services, and higher education institutions.
Through this work, I have supported individuals experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, work-related stress, family conflict, loneliness, trauma, and loss.
Specialist Areas
I also specialise in culturally sensitive therapy for Black, Asian, Middle Eastern, and Minority women.
My work often supports those who have experienced abuse and violence, including physical and emotional abuse, sexual abuse, rape, forced marriage, financial and coercive control, female genital mutilation (FGM), and other harmful practices, including so-called honour-based violence.
My Approach
My work is rooted in a person-centred approach, meaning your experiences, values, and pace guide our work together. Person-centred therapy is based on the belief that people have an innate capacity for growth and healing when they are met with empathy, acceptance, and genuine understanding.
I offer a safe and respectful space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly, and develop greater self-awareness and clarity.
As a Christian, I am able to integrate Biblical principles and Christian values into therapy or coaching if this is something you would like. This is always optional and guided by your preferences.
Life Coaching for Confidence, Clarity and Growth
Alongside my therapeutic work, I am a certified Life Coach and offer coaching support in areas such as heartbreak and relationship recovery, low self-esteem, building confidence, setting meaningful goals, and personal development. Therapy can support emotional healing, self-understanding, and resilience.
Coaching offers a more forward-focused space to help you build confidence, set meaningful goals, and move towards positive change. Where appropriate, I integrate therapeutic insight with coaching tools to support both healing and personal development.

Both therapy and coaching sessions are usually scheduled weekly or fortnightly, though this can be discussed and adjusted depending on your needs and goals.
If you’re unsure whether therapy or coaching is the right fit for you, this can be explored together during an initial conversation.
What to Expect
Your first session is an opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy or coaching and to ask any questions you may have.
I will explain how I work and support you in exploring your needs at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Sessions are collaborative and person-centred, offering a supportive space where you can speak openly and be met with empathy, respect and understanding.
My Location
I am based in South London and currently offer therapy and coaching online, supporting clients across the UK through secure video platforms and telephone sessions.
This allows you to access support in a way that feels comfortable, private and convenient for you.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the session will be charged at the full session fee.
If rescheduling within the same working week is possible, no additional charge will apply.
Exceptions may be considered for emergencies, at the therapist’s discretion.
Get in Touch
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how therapy or coaching works, or if you would like to arrange an initial assessment appointment. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to seek support, whether therapy or coaching may be helpful for you, and whether I am the right practitioner to support you.
I am happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have before arranging an initial appointment.
All enquires are usually answered within 24 hours, and all contact is strictly confidential and uses secure phone and email services.
Some frequently asked questions
Do I need to choose between therapy and coaching?
No, you don’t need to have that clarity straight away. Many people come knowing they want support but are unsure which approach is best for them. We can explore this together and decide what feels most appropriate based on your needs and circumstances.
How do I know whether therapy or coaching is right for me?
Therapy is often more focused on emotional healing, self-understanding, and working through past or ongoing difficulties.
Coaching is more forward-focused and supports clarity, confidence, relationships, and goal-setting.
If you’re unsure, this can be discussed during an initial session.
Are sessions online or in person?
Sessions are currently offered online via video or by telephone.
How often do sessions usually take place?
Most clients attend sessions weekly or fortnightly, though this can vary depending on individual needs and preferences.
Is coaching suitable if I’m going through a breakup or relationship change?
Yes. Coaching can be particularly supportive during times of relationship transition, such as heartbreak or separation. It focuses on helping clients gain clarity, rebuild confidence, and move forward with intention.
