Rob Millist, BACP, NCPS

Rob Millist is a counsellor with seven years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers a straightforward, warm approach to talking about problems. He combines practical tools with calm, steady listening to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day stress.

Rob works with worry and anxiety, low mood and depression, addictive behaviours and issues with self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, grief, trauma, intimacy and sexual culture questions, and the challenges of parenting and career change. Additional focus areas include ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, autism and body-image concerns.

Sessions begin with a longer first meeting to review what matters most and set clear goals. After that, weekly 45-minute slots are offered, and Rob uses a monthly Wellbeing Score to track how someone is feeling over time. He also reviews messages and voice notes during the week to keep work moving between sessions.

Rob blends practical techniques with reflective discussion. He draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based work, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas and a client-centred stance. He uses grounding exercises and short coping strategies you can try between sessions.

People who prefer a direct, compassionate counsellor tend to fit well with his style. He aims to make sessions welcoming and non-judgemental, and to move toward goals at a pace that suits each person. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they help online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand repeated emotional responses in close relationships and learn safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers hands-on strategies to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, offering non-judgemental listening and support so people can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rob will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose or combine approaches together. This is a collaborative process that adjusts as the person learns what helps and what does not.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and to keep momentum between sessions. Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered by this therapist, since the profile lists weekly 45-minute slots and a longer first session but does not set out all options. Online work can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to include message or voice-note exchanges between meetings, depending on what is agreed with the therapist.
