Miles Dorfman

Miles Dorfman is a BACP-credentialed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, ADHD, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and coping with life changes. His practice also addresses life purpose questions and issues such as isolation, midlife concerns and difficulties with motivation.

Miles uses a research-informed approach that treats a person as a system. He talks through how thoughts, behaviours and day-to-day routines interact. That often means spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing alternatives together.

He also looks at practical parts of life that can be changed. This can include routines, workplace habits or relationship patterns that are making things harder. Together the work moves between thinking differently and making concrete changes.

Miles aims to be respectful and sensitive in sessions. He asks questions, offers observations and helps people work out strategies to manage stress and make clearer decisions about work and life direction.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on problem-solving as well as understanding. People contact him about career doubts, concentration and motivation, relationship communication, and the pull of emptiness or lack of direction. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the online booking flow.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Miles works from evidence-based techniques that focus on thinking patterns and practical life changes. Cognitive-style approaches look at unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, helping people test those ideas and try alternative ways of thinking; this can be useful for anxiety, low mood and issues with self-esteem. Behaviour-focused techniques centre on changing routines and habits in everyday life, including workplace and relationship routines that affect motivation and concentration. These methods often pair well for people questioning life purpose, career direction or coping with transitions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful, set small experiments and adjust methods based on what the client reports. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical steps as well as clearer thinking about next steps.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family by removing travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce the need to be on camera if that helps with focus. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt timing and frequency to suit everyday life while keeping the sessions focused on decision-making, coping strategies and forward planning.
