I'm Miriam, a Therapist & Counsellor
Born in the UK, living in Sweden.
BACP Qualified Psychotherapist with postgraduate diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. 8 years experience working with clients.
Spending time in nature - walking, swimming, and SUP-ing feeds my soul. Coffee and baked-goods lover.
Helping my clients hit those turning points, where things finally start to click, is honestly the best part of what I do.
My Story
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to understanding people - how we think, why we do what we do, and what holds us back from living the lives we truly want. I’ve also always been an overthinker. From the age of 19 I spent years struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, and the feeling that I was somehow falling behind. Years passed, and although I was on the path to living out what had once been my dream - I kept asking myself, "is this the life I want to be living?"​
​
My journey wasn’t a straight path. I’ve had many of moments of doubt, comparison, and feeling stuck. I spent the majority of my twenties wondering if I was doing what I was 'supposed' to be doing, and then something shifted. I began seeing my own therapist.
I took to her my insecurities, my constant 'what-ifs'. I described my overwhelm as low confidence, and lack of direction - but I know now that I was in the midst of a quarter-life crisis. This was a turning point for me. I could either continue on this path of uncertainty, in-decision, and dissatisfaction for life, or I could grow towards what I wanted, put myself first, and re-harness my quarter-life years.
I stopped trying to tick off the "life achievements" I thought I needed to follow and started focusing on what truly mattered to me. It wasn't an easy journey but now my life looks different. I live with more balance, freedom, and intention - a life that brings me genuine joy!
​
I could see this in my clients too. They were determined for things to feel different, but just didn't know where to start. That’s why I created Is This It? - a therapy service that tackles these feelings head-on and promotes authentic, exciting change, that lasts a lifetime.
I now work remotely from my new home in Sweden, travel when I want, and have built a life that allows me to feel genuinely excited about the future, whilst thoroughly enjoying the present. And I want that for you, too.
​
Because life isn’t meant to feel like something you’re just getting through. Ticking boxes, but watching time slip away. You deserve to enjoy these years, and wake up feeling like yourself, fulfilled, and hopeful again.
​
It's possible, I promise!
