About Millie Ashton

Millie Ashton is a BACP registered therapist in the United Kingdom with 15 years of clinical experience, offering a compassionate, person-centred approach to support people through a wide range of challenges. They combine a client-led style with practical therapeutic skills to help clients navigate depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, gender dysphoria and broader LGBTQ issues, as well as the effects of physical trauma and emotional abuse. Their background includes ten years as a foster carer working with adolescents who have experienced emotional, physical and sexual trauma, which informs a sensitive and trauma-aware way of working.

Millie adapts sessions to reflect what each person brings in the moment, allowing the focus to shift naturally as needs evolve. They treat everyone with equal respect and sensitivity and avoid stigmatizing labels, tailoring conversation and session plans to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all template. Millie explains that therapy is often a process that requires honesty, reflection and a willingness to be challenged, and they support clients through that work with patience and encouragement.

They believe seeking help is a courageous first step and aim to listen, support and collaborate so clients can make positive, empowering changes. If a different therapeutic fit would better serve someone’s progress, Millie will openly discuss options and encourage clients to find the best match for their needs.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Support



Millie works primarily with client-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, offering a non-directive space where individuals lead the conversation and explore their feelings and values - it is often helpful for issues around identity, relationships and processing difficult life events. CBT is a structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems and can provide practical skills to manage day-to-day difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Millie will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences and needs, and together they will decide whether a primarily client-centred stance, CBT techniques, or a blend of both will best support progress over time.

Online therapy with Millie is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to access regular support from a registered professional without the need to travel, helping people maintain consistency in their therapeutic work while adapting to their daily life.
