About Miles
Miles Dorfman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on depression and related concerns. He holds BACP registration and brings three years of clinical experience to sessions. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
He speaks English and works with people seeking practical change. His approach combines looking at thinking patterns with looking at life habits. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then challenges them together.
Background and approach
He also looks for daily routines or situations that can be adjusted to ease strain and lift mood. Sessions are practical and collaborative. Clients can expect to map out which thoughts and behaviours maintain stress, anxiety or low mood.
Then they will try small, achievable strategies to change those patterns. Progress is taken one step at a time rather than pushed too fast. Miles pays attention to how relationships, work and life transitions affect wellbeing.
He works with concerns such as ADHD, confidence, motivation, communication problems, and loneliness alongside depression. Conversations aim to connect current difficulties to things that can be changed now. He describes his work as research-driven and respectful.
People who choose him will find a measured, compassionate style and a focus on planning realistic next steps. Starting therapy is framed as a gradual process with steady goals and practical tools.

Online support
Behavioural and routine-based techniques look at small changes in daily life. This might involve adjusting sleep, activity or work habits and trying simple experiments to see what lifts energy and focus. These strategies are useful for depression, low motivation and concentration problems often linked to ADHD.
Miles treats choice of approach as a collaborative process. Together with the client he will test what fits best for their goals and preferences. The aim is to find practical tools that feel useful in day-to-day life rather than a single fixed method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people work face to face when bandwidth allows, while phone sessions need less data and can fit a work break. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, written reflection or pacing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
