About Mariam
Mariam Baroudi helps people manage stress, anxiety and panic-related difficulties. She also supports those facing grief, parenting strains, low self-esteem and life changes. Her style is calm and practical, aiming to help people feel steadier day to day.
Mariam has worked in hospitals, community health services, schools and private practice over a 25-year career. She is an accredited member of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). That range of settings has given her a clear view of how problems show up in everyday life.
Her approach blends strength-based, person-centred methods with cognitive behavioural ideas. Sessions focus on what is useful right now and on building skills that make a real difference. She encourages clients to use their own strengths while trying out new ways of coping.
Mariam tailors each session to the person’s needs, goals and pace. She walks alongside people as they practise skills, try new behaviours and reflect on progress. The work often includes practical strategies for reducing worry, managing panic symptoms and improving daily routines.
People come for help with parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, first responder stress, feelings of emptiness or guilt, and cultural concerns. Mariam aims to help clients build confidence, clarify values and find workable steps forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Her practice combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and strength-based thinking. Person-centred work means the therapist listens closely and follows the person’s concerns, helping them make sense of what matters most. Cognitive behavioural ideas involve noticing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Strength-based work focuses on identifying existing skills and building them into everyday coping strategies.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match your goals, pace and preferences. Together you will review what helps and adjust the approach as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue work during life changes and to focus on practical skills for managing anxiety and panic in daily routines.
