Delia Miranda

Clinical Psychologist

“I am a registered clinical psychologist and BWRT therapist in the Pietermaritzburg area. I work with adults and adolescents in individual therapy.”

About Me

As a registered clinical psychologist in Pietermaritzburg, I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents. I provide a thoughtful, confidential space where you can explore personal challenges. Together, we can understand difficult emotions and develop practical ways forward. Clients often appreciate my supportive approach, finding clarity and building resilience. This makes therapy a valuable step towards greater well-being. I have completed both level 1 and level 2 BWRT (BrainWorking Recursive Therapy) training which I incorporate into my clinical work to address automatic responses associated with past trauma. BWRT is a brief, neuroscience informed approached that helps the brain change unhelpful emotional responses and behavioural patterns.

Approach

Therapy unfolds at a steady, practical pace: Sessions in Pietermaritzburg or online in English balance careful listening with focused steps you can try between meetings. I help map patterns behind anxiety, grief, burnout, mood shifts, relationship strain and trauma, using clear questions and gentle reflection so ideas become useful in daily life. Appointments feel collaborative and measured, with room to slow down when emotions are strong and to plan small, tangible changes afterward. This way of working suits people seeking practical clarity and steady support. BWRT is utilised, as needed, to rewire neural pathways to change emotional and behavoural reactions to stressors by targeting the unconscious, pre-conscious brain, often without the patient needing to disclose distressing details.
