Mariam Nakabugo, BACP
About me
Welcome!
Thank you for visiting my page. My name is Mariam, and I am licensed Person-Centred Therapist based in the UK with over 7 years of experience.
My therapy style is warm, encouraging and empowering. I try and work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear or judgment.
I have experience in supporting men and women who suffer from a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, work related stress, family conflicts, loneliness, trauma and loss.
I also specialize in offering culturally sensitive counselling support tailored to Black, Asian, Middle Eastern and Minority women who have experienced all forms of abuse and violence. This includes physical abuse, emotional abuse, forced marriage, rape, sexual abuse, financial control, coercive control, female genital mutilation, harmful practices which includes so-called honour-based violence.
I am very passionate about supporting people. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes a lot of courage. I want you to know that I am here to support you in this process and to help you to move forward.
If you're interested in working with me please feel free to message me or have a look at my availability to see what time would suit you best to have a session with me.

Lovely therapist. Made me feel very comfortable from day 1. Really good listener and equips you with tools to really explore your feelings and work through any issues you might have. I also appreciate that Mariam is a person of faith and this has been a much welcomed part of our therapy sessions.
