About Silvia Miranda
Every good relationship starts with understanding yourself…
That’s where this work begins.
Meet Silvia Miranda
I am a Consultant Counselling Psychologist and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and I have spent more than 25 years helping people make sense of themselves and their relationships.
A career grounded in real human complexity
My career has taken me across NHS mental health services, the Ministry of Defence and private practice working with people navigating some of the most challenging periods of their lives. That experience taught me that real change is possible and it usually starts with understanding the patterns we carry without realising it.
Why The Dating Psychologist exists
I founded The Dating Psychologist because I kept seeing the same pattern gap. People wanted better relationships, but the support available was either too clinical or too superficial. What was missing was something that combined genuine psychological depth with practical, real-world relevance.
How I work
My work draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and trauma-informed approaches including EMDR.
It is always tailored to the individual because no two people arrive at the same place for the same reasons.
If you are tired of dating without progress or simply want to understand yourself better before going any further, I would love to help.
Evidence-based
Everything is grounded in psychological research and proven therapeutic approaches. No guesswork.
Deeply personal
Your history, your patterns, your goals. Every session is tailored to you. There is no generic programme.
Confidential and professional
The highest standards of confidentiality, GDPR compliance and professional ethics apply at all times.
