About Me
Helping you feel safe, supported and understood after a difficult journey to motherhood
Hi, I’m Dr Miriam Inder
People who have faced difficult journeys to early motherhood often feel distressed, overwhelmed, and alone—at a time when they most need nurture and support. At the same time, motherhood can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth.
It is because of the heartache I experienced myself that I made a commitment to support others with authenticity and humility as they navigate traumatic maternal experiences. This is why I founded Better Beginnings – to use my expertise to help those struggling during this life stage.
As a highly experienced Perinatal Clinical Psychologist, I know the transformative power of therapy, especially when delivered with warmth and skill. I’m dedicated to creating a difference, for every individual, couple and baby I work with.
‘Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul’
Carl Jung
With over 19 years of post-qualification experience in NHS and private settings, I am also an EMDR Accredited Consultant Supervisor and IFS Therapist. I continue to be amazed by the transformative potential of these therapy approaches.
I am also proud to be a neurodivergence-affirming therapist, skilled in adapting therapy to meet the needs of individuals who are autistic or have ADHD—populations who often experience higher rates of trauma.
I offer EMDR supervision to individuals and groups working in both NHS and private practice settings.
