Miles Dorfman, BACP

Miles Dorfman uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. He works with clients who are coping with depression, ADHD, career pressures and major life changes. His approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people make small, steady shifts that improve day-to-day life.

Miles frames each person as a system - thinking patterns, habits and circumstances all interact. In sessions he helps uncover unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, then challenges them together with the client. He pairs that cognitive work with an exploration of practical changes in routines, work and relationships.

He brings three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a research-minded style that still stays focused on what matters most to the client right now.

Miles aims to be respectful and compassionate. He uses clear language and collaborative planning so people know what to expect from each session. He often helps clients set manageable goals and simple daily practices to support progress between meetings.

Starting therapy can feel daunting and he acknowledges that first step is significant. He invites people to approach change at a pace that suits them and to work on strategies they can actually use in their lives.

How evidence-based methods work in online therapy

Miles describes his practice as research-driven and focused on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Two approaches commonly used in research-informed therapy are cognitive methods and behavioural planning. Cognitive methods involve identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts that fuel anxiety, low mood or self-doubt, helping people think and respond differently. Behavioural planning looks at daily routines, work habits and small actions that can be changed to improve mood, concentration and energy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what matters most, try methods that suit the person's goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match the techniques to the individual's needs and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break and help people work on coping strategies from wherever they are located. Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can then discuss which format will best suit scheduling, communication style and practical needs.
