About Rob Millist

Rob Millist welcomes people seeking support with a calm, practical approach that blends professional training with human warmth. He offers regular availability on Tuesdays, with additional Thursday afternoons over the summer, and schedules 45-minute counselling slots between 9am and 9pm UK time. The initial meeting is 50 minutes so there is time to discuss presenting concerns, set goals, and review a monthly Wellbeing Score that he uses to track changes and progress. During the week he also reviews client messages and voicenotes to keep continuity between sessions.

Rob combines counselling and coaching experience across one-to-one and corporate settings, and he contributes as a regular counsellor for organisations such as Youthline UK, Mind, and PAWS. He describes his style as a head-and-heart approach, aiming to create a welcoming, nonjudgemental space while offering practical tools like grounding techniques to manage emotional stress. He supports clients through a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, addiction, and matters related to identity and intimacy.

Rob holds BACP and NCPS credentials - BACP indicates membership of a UK counselling body and NCPS denotes a recognised credential in counselling and psychotherapy. He invites prospective clients to try a session, set the pace, and work collaboratively to clarify goals and move toward the outcomes they want.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships and patterns of relating influence current emotional responses and relationship challenges. It can be helpful for people struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, and relationship patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience and builds a collaborative, non-directive relationship where the therapist offers empathy and support to foster self-understanding and confidence; it is often used for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explores links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while teaching skills to manage unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rob works collaboratively with clients and with registered professionals when appropriate to identify the combination of methods that best fits each person's needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity between meetings, and access support from wherever the client is based within the region served by the therapist.
