Welcome to Theraps
Online counselling and psychotherapy for adults, based in Devon and supporting clients across the UK and Europe.
Understanding the patterns that keep you stuck, so you can move forward with clarity.
Feeling Stuck and Unable to Move Forwards
Maybe you've been trying to set boundaries with your family, but something always holds you back. Perhaps you've noticed patterns in your relationships that keep repeating, even when you wish they wouldn't. There might be anxiety or overwhelm sitting with you that's hard to put into words.
Sometimes, difficult family relationships leave their mark on more than just those connections; they ripple through everything. You might find yourself doubting your decisions, wondering if you can trust what you feel. Perhaps you're curious about neurodivergence and how it might shape the way you experience the world. And maybe you're just tired of managing rather than truly living.
Therapy can help you make sense of why you feel this way.
Professional, Relational Online Psychotherapy
My name is Miriam Berry, and I’m a BACP-registered, trauma-informed psychotherapist based in Devon. I began my counselling practice in London and St Albans, and have been providing counselling since 2019. I now work exclusively online with individual adults across Devon, the wider UK and Europe.
I work with people who are navigating complex family relationships, particularly those dealing with emotionally immature or narcissistic family members. Many of my clients are also exploring suspected neurodivergence and how it shapes their experience of the world and their relationships. I work closely with people in the LGBTQ+ community, drawing on both personal and professional experience to understand the particular challenges around identity, coming out, and navigating relationships and family dynamics.

How Counselling and Psychotherapy Can Help You
Understanding What’s Beneath the Surface
Counselling and psychotherapy give you space to explore what's really going on beneath the feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed. We look at how your early experiences, particularly your early relationships, have shaped the patterns you find yourself in today.
Making the Unconscious Conscious
It's about understanding the why behind how you feel and behave, bringing what's unconscious into awareness. When you understand what's driving you, you can begin to work with yourself rather than against yourself. That's where real, lasting change happens, and that's where you can start living the life you actually want, not just the one you think you should.
Choosing the Support That Fits You
I offer both short-term and long-term psychotherapy depending on your needs. Some people find what they're looking for in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term work. We can discuss what might work best for you during our initial consultation.
Issues I Can Help With
The struggles that bring people to therapy are rarely just one thing. Often, they're interconnected, like anxiety rooted in family dynamics, relationship patterns shaped by early experiences, or the challenge of understanding yourself in a world that doesn't always make space for how you're wired.
I work with people navigating complex family and intimate relationships, such as:
- Emotionally immature or narcissistic parents
- Difficult mother–daughter dynamics
- Family trauma
- Challenges with setting boundaries
- Stress, anxiety and overwhelm from difficult relationships
- Repeating intimate relationship patterns
- Low self-esteem and chronic self-doubt
- Neurodivergent experiences
- LGBTQ+ identity
- Life transitions
- Early trauma and adverse childhood experiences
- Grief and loss in all its forms
Taking the First Step
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you've been managing on your own for a long time. That’s why I offer a free online consultation – a relaxed, no-obligation space to ask questions and get a sense of how online counselling might help. Whether you’re based in the UK or elsewhere in Europe, we can connect securely online and explore what kind of therapy support feels right for you.
