About Miles
Counsellor and BACP member, Miles Dorfman has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and ADHD. He also supports people with career questions and coping with life changes.
Miles uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a research-informed approach. He looks at thoughts that get in the way and helps people notice patterns that keep problems going. He also considers aspects of a person's daily life that can be changed to make things easier.
Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking and then test new ways of approaching problems. Miles and the client plan practical steps together. The work mixes talking, reflection and practical strategies rather than abstract theory.
His stated focus covers attachment issues, avoidant personality traits, commitment worries and communication problems. He also addresses control issues, emptiness, guilt and shame, and common concerns such as impulsivity, isolation and jealousy.
Miles lists support for men’s issues, midlife crisis and questions about life purpose among his interests. He describes his practice as research-driven and respectful. Practical steps and clearer next actions are a stated aim of his work.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online counselling
Miles describes his work as research-driven and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts. This method helps when anxiety, low mood or self-doubt are getting in the way of daily life.Another approach looks at current life patterns and behaviours and sets practical goals. It aims to change parts of a person's routine or decision-making that make problems worse, which can help with stress, motivation and workplace issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Miles will discuss options and agree a way forward with the client based on needs, goals and personal preference. The process is collaborative and may be adjusted as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so it is important to confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, cut travel time and support shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including BACP members, commonly use online sessions to make therapy more practical for everyday life.
