About Mariam
Mariam Baroudi helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and the pressures of parenting. She also supports those wanting to build self-esteem, cope with major life changes, and find direction during midlife shifts. Mariam’s tone is practical and collaborative, focusing on small steps that make daily life easier.
She brings 25 years of experience working in hospitals, community health services, schools and private practice across Australia. That range means she has seen many common life challenges and knows how problems can affect work and wellbeing. Mariam is an AASW member - the Australian Association of Social Workers - and keeps her skills up to date through ongoing development.
Mariam uses a strength-based, person-centred style. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and helps them find useful ways forward. Cognitive behavioural approaches are part of her toolkit to help people change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.
Sessions are tailored to what an individual needs and moves at their pace. Practical skills are practised in session and can be used between meetings for real-life problems. Mariam aims to help people build resilience, clearer communication and steadier moods.
Her background includes working with grief and loss, family of origin and family problems, separation and divorce, feelings of emptiness, cultural and multicultural concerns, and issues common to first responders. This experience informs how she frames solutions for work and wellbeing challenges.
How evidence-based approaches translate into online care
Many clients find cognitive behavioural ideas help with stress and anxiety by focusing on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT-style work often uses practical exercises and simple strategies that can be practised between sessions to reduce worry and improve routine.A person-centred approach means the therapist follows the client’s lead and builds on their strengths. This helps when someone needs support to make decisions, regain confidence or work through grief at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and which techniques seem most useful, then adapt methods to suit each person. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, avoid camera use when preferred, or schedule sessions during a break from work to keep therapy part of everyday life.
