Miranda

Ms Miranda Lo, M.Couns

Psychotherapist (Registered)

I work with an Integrative Therapeutic Approach to draw benefits from various modalities to suit You. I have worked with adults with concerns including social anxiety, self-esteem, finding self-identity & meaning in life, career transformation and relationship issues. I am a Registered Counsellor & Psychotherapist, Relationship therapist and CSTIP therapist (MBACP, MCouns, BSc (Psych) Hons).

About Me

I believe your therapeutic journey should be as unique as you are. My integrative approach means we carefully select tools and insights from various modalities. This allows me to tailor sessions precisely to your individual needs. I support adults navigating social anxiety, self-esteem, or relationship issues. We can also explore finding self-identity, meaning in life, and career transformation together. My aim is to help you find clarity and a path forward that truly fits.

Approach

We shape each session around what matters to you, moving between focused reflection, short experiments and gentle skill-practice to discover what actually changes things for you. I offer face-to-face work in Glasgow and remote sessions in English, Cantonese or Mandarin, so the pace and practical follow‑through fit your life. Expect collaborative planning, brief practices between meetings and regular review so progress feels tangible. This way suits people seeking steady, practical shifts in anxiety, identity, relationships or career direction.
