Mariam Nakabugo , BACP

Mariam Nakabugo is a licensed Person-Centered Therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings a warm, encouraging, and empowering presence to her work. She practices in a way that prioritizes an open, non-judgmental space where adults can explore their thoughts and feelings and build confidence in their own resources and strengths.

Mariam has a decade of clinical experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, work-related stress, family conflict, trauma, grief, loss, and loneliness. She draws on culturally sensitive approaches when working with Black, Asian, Middle Eastern, and other minority women, and has particular experience supporting those who have experienced emotional or physical abuse, sexual violence, forced marriage, coercive control, female genital mutilation, and honour-based violence.

She holds BACP accreditation - membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards. As a Christian, Mariam can integrate Biblical principles and Christian values into therapy when clients wish to include their spiritual needs alongside personal ones.

Mariam works from the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and that change comes from collaboration. Her role is to walk alongside clients, offering practical support, encouragement, and tools to help them move forward. Prospective clients are invited to message her or check availability to book a session at a time that suits them.
