About Miles

Miles Dorfman is a counsellor who brings a practical, research-aware approach to common life struggles. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship concerns. He also supports people managing ADHD, career questions and major life changes.

Miles frames each person as a system shaped by thoughts, routines and environment. He helps people notice unhelpful thinking and then tests different ways of responding. That often means trying small, practical changes in day-to-day life alongside talking through beliefs and emotions.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps. Miles uses a problem-solving mindset to break issues into manageable pieces. He pays attention to patterns such as attachment, avoidance, control or impulsivity that can keep people stuck.

Miles aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate in session. He encourages clients to be curious about how habits and choices affect mood, focus and relationships. He also helps people set realistic plans for work, study or family responsibilities.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, commonly known as BACP, and has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. If someone is unsure where to begin, he offers an initial, straightforward conversation to agree goals and the best way forward.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Evidence-based techniques focus on changing thoughts and habits that keep problems going. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative responses; this can reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve focus. Another practical approach looks at routines and environment to improve concentration and daily functioning, which is useful for ADHD, motivation and workplace difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans over time. Miles works with each person to decide which techniques feel useful and worth continuing, rather than applying a single method from the start.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people see body language and work in a conversational way. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, frequent check-ins or ongoing reflection when time is tight. Together these formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical change.
