About Mariam
Mariam Baroudi is an AASW social worker with 25 years of experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also pays attention to family of origin issues and related concerns such as communication problems and feelings of emptiness.
Mariam has worked in hospitals, community health services, schools and private practice. That range gives her a practical sense of how everyday life affects mental health. She focuses on straightforward tools that people can use between sessions.
Her practice draws on strength-based, person-centred ideas and cognitive behavioural approaches. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Mariam helps people identify habits that keep old patterns in place, and then tries different ways to shift them.
When parenting feels overwhelming she helps parents break problems into manageable steps. For grief and loss she offers ways to hold difficult feelings while still functioning day to day. For anxiety and stress she uses simple, evidence-informed techniques to reduce intense moments and build steadier coping skills.
Mariam values continued professional learning and describes her work as respectful and goal-focused. She encourages clear communication about what a person wants to change and keeps the pacing suitable to each person’s circumstances.
Approaches used and how online sessions fit practical life
Mariam bases her work on person-centred methods, which focus on the client’s priorities and pace. This approach means conversations start from what the person says matters and move forward from there.She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. CBT-style techniques can be useful for reducing anxiety, managing stress and changing repeating family patterns learned in childhood.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Mariam will discuss options with the client and try different techniques to find what suits their goals and preferences. That process is practical and reviewed as therapy progresses.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when someone prefers audio-only. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency with sessions while they work on family patterns and life changes.
