Dr Miranda Clifford

Miranda is a chartered psychologist and clinical supervisor with over 18 years’ experience working with clients with a wide range of issues and concerns including anxiety, bereavement and loss, depression, identity, parenting, relationship issues, self-confidence, self-esteem and stress. Her experience as a psychologist has been within the NHS, local authority and private practice and she is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and the British Psychological Society.

Miranda trained in existential-phenomenological, humanistic and psychodynamic therapies and she draws on a range of counselling and psychotherapy models to provide the most effective approach. Her therapeutic style is collaborative and interactive, so as well as listening without judgement she will prompt and ask questions with the aim of exploring and understanding your experiences, thoughts and feelings more deeply. Clients report that this kind of exploration increases their understanding, awareness and acceptance of themselves and how they relate to others and the world around them as well as how these ways of being have developed over the course of their life. This rich exploration and clarification contributes to a rediscovery of values, beliefs and what’s meaningful to them, which can open up new perspectives, possibilities and choices.
