About Miles

Miles Dorfman is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, ADHD, low self-esteem and life changes, including concerns around guilt and shame.

He frames clients as whole systems. That means looking at thoughts and the parts of everyday life that can be adjusted. He talks through unhelpful beliefs and then helps plan practical changes that fit into the person's routine.

Miles draws on research to guide sessions. Conversations will challenge stuck thinking and test new behaviours. He uses clear, step-by-step strategies rather than abstract theory alone.

Sessions often include attention to daily habits, work and role pressures, and ways emotions play out in relationships. He pays attention to communication patterns, commitment worries and feelings of emptiness or isolation when these come up.

People who come with guilt or shame can expect a focus on understanding how those feelings developed, and on identifying small, doable changes that reduce their grip. He also works on practical skills for assertiveness, concentration and managing impulsivity.

Miles asks clients to be active partners in the process. He provides feedback, sets tasks between sessions and revises plans as needed. To start, clients use the site matching questionnaire and book an initial session to see how the approach fits their situation.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Many practical therapies used for anxiety and mood focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. One common technique helps people notice negative thought patterns, challenge them, and try different responses to see what changes in daily life. This approach can help with guilt, shame and low self-esteem.

Another useful strand targets routines and attention for people with concentration or impulsivity difficulties. It breaks work and daily life into manageable steps, builds simple habits, and uses small experiments to improve focus and mood. That kind of work supports career and motivation concerns.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that looks at thinking, behaviour and practical life adjustments together.

If you plan to use online sessions, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and between-session tasks to suit an online setting, while keeping the focus on small, practical steps that fit into everyday life.
