Miles Dorfman, BACP

Miles Dorfman is a UK-credentialed therapist with three years of clinical experience, working with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, ADHD, and career-related concerns. He combines a research-driven approach with practical life strategies to help clients better understand the patterns that maintain distress and identify realistic areas for change. BACP indicates his association with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Miles attends to the whole person as a system - exploring thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and life circumstances together. He focuses on uncovering and challenging unhelpful cognitions while also spotting suboptimal aspects of daily life that can be adjusted to support progress. This dual emphasis on mental patterns and practical adjustments supports clearer thinking and more sustainable change.

Work with Miles covers a range of concerns from concentration and motivation to relationship communication, control issues, attachment and commitment difficulties, and life transitions. He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and he encourages those taking the first steps toward therapy by acknowledging that beginning therapy often takes courage. Miles collaborates with clients to create tailored strategies aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and long-term wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Therapy

Many sessions focus on uncovering and challenging unhelpful cognitions - identifying thoughts that contribute to anxiety or low mood and working to change the ways of thinking that keep problems in place. This approach helps with issues such as worry, self-criticism, and concentration difficulties. Another key approach emphasizes practical life-focused strategies - identifying elements of daily life that can be changed and devising step-by-step plans to improve coping, relationships, work performance, and motivation. These methods aim to combine insight with actionable steps to support longer-term progress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work. Miles will explore a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques so they fit the person and the situation. Therapy is shaped together, with the therapist offering guidance and the client contributing priorities and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexible access to registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit support into busy schedules, address issues from wherever a person is based within the therapist’s practice area, and maintain continuity of care during life changes. The focus remains on effective, evidence-informed work that can be delivered remotely to suit individual needs.
