Miles Dorfman, BACP

Miles Dorfman is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) who brings three years of clinical experience to his work. He sees people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, career questions, and identity concerns that often surface during life transitions. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward for someone taking that step.

Miles uses a research-informed approach that views each person as a system shaped by thoughts, habits and circumstances. In sessions he gently challenges unhelpful thinking while also spotting practical areas of life that can be changed. This can include daily routines, work patterns, or how someone communicates with others.

The work combines reflective conversation with practical planning. Clients can expect to talk through difficult feelings and then map out small behavioural steps. This mix is intended to help reduce overwhelm and build confidence over time.

Miles also pays attention to relational patterns such as attachment, avoidant behaviours, commitment worries, and communication difficulties. He supports people looking to understand jealousy, guilt, shame, impulsivity, or the emptiness that can come with major life shifts.

He commonly helps people facing midlife uncertainty and those reassessing life purpose or career direction. Sessions aim to be respectful, steady and focused on what you want to change next.

Approaches that guide online work

Miles describes his practice as research-informed and focuses on approaches that combine examining thoughts with practical life changes. One common approach looks at the links between thinking patterns and feelings, helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them in day-to-day life. This can help with anxiety, low mood and self‑critical thinking.

Another typical strand emphasises behavioural change and routine adjustment. That involves identifying small, achievable steps in daily routines, work habits or communication, and reviewing what works and what needs tweaking. This kind of work often suits people wanting concrete ways to manage stress and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals and try different techniques until you find what fits. This is framed as a collaborative process where your preferences shape the plan.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and making it easier to join from different locations.
