About me
Helping you feel safe, supported and understood after a difficult journey to motherhood
Hi, I'm Dr Miriam Inder
People who have experienced difficult journeys to early parenthood often feel distressed, overwhelmed and alone.
This is how I felt when I faced challenges in my own journey to motherhood. Which is why I founded Better Beginnings – to use my expertise as a Perinatal Clinical Psychologist to help other people….not just to survive, but to thrive.
As a highly experienced psychologist I know the power of therapy to transform our emotional well-being, especially when delivered with warmth, skill and at the moment of greatest need. And specialist therapy online means you can access this help conveniently from the comfort of your own home.
I’m dedicated to creating a difference, for every individual, couple and baby I support.

Recognised by
“Miriam is a lovely, kind soul with incredible knowledge. I was at ease throughout our sessions and was able to gain so much from them.”
“I was scared that I didn’t ‘deserve’ to have therapy and my experiences during labour and birth weren’t ‘bad enough’ to warrant help. Miriam heard that and worked hard to ensure I understood that I did deserve to prioritise my health and mental wellbeing and overcome the challenging start to my much-longed-for child’s life.
”
“Miriam was fabulous. She fully explained the process of EMDR and at every stage was always checking in on me and making sure I was ok. The sessions were completely invaluable. ”
“I would highly recommend Miriam to anyone who needs a safe space to work through their problems in a completely non-judgemental environment.”
“Miriam really made me feel at ease discussing my birth experience and supported me get to to a place where I no longer experience feelings of failure. Thanks to Miriam I’m feeling positive about a future pregnancy. ”
