About Miles

Miles Dorfman is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom. He brings three years of clinical experience and a practical, research-informed approach to common struggles like anxiety, low mood and feeling isolated.

Miles focuses on what is happening now and on small, achievable changes. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then gently challenge them. He also looks at everyday routines and habits that can be adjusted to reduce stress and improve concentration.

In sessions Miles treats each person as a whole system rather than a list of symptoms. That means talking about relationships, work, daily structure and how these areas influence mood and behaviour. He offers straightforward strategies alongside reflective conversation, tailored to what feels manageable for each person.

Areas he commonly addresses include ADHD, relationship and communication difficulties, self-esteem, career questions and coping with life changes. He also works with issues such as guilt, shame, impulsivity and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Miles aims to create a respectful and sensitive space where people can take practical steps forward. To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Miles describes his practice as research-informed and practical, and his work often focuses on ways of thinking and daily routines. One common approach used in this kind of work looks at unhelpful thoughts and teaches ways to notice and challenge them. This helps with anxiety, low mood and repetitive self-criticism by changing thought patterns and testing them in everyday life.

Another approach used in similar practice emphasises behaviour and routine - identifying small, manageable changes to sleep, activity, work habits and social contact. That kind of focus helps people with concentration, stress, motivation and feelings of emptiness or isolation by building steady, achievable habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miles will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful based on goals, needs and preferences. He aims to try methods together and adjust as needed rather than insisting on a single way forward.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions around work or family commitments and fewer journeys to attend appointments. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, readers should confirm current session options before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy fit everyday life and on working together to apply changes between sessions.
