Rob Millist, BACP, NCPS

Rob Millist is a counsellor with seven years of experience. He works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, and he also supports those facing relationship, career and identity concerns. Rob holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings a straightforward, warm approach to sessions.

He has worked in one-to-one and corporate settings and has provided counselling for Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS. Rob uses a mix of practical techniques and reflective listening so people can talk through their immediate worries and spot patterns that matter over time. He often includes simple grounding exercises to reduce overwhelm during and after sessions.

Initial meetings are slightly longer to review presenting issues, clarify goals and look at a wellbeing score that tracks how someone feels over time. After that, typical sessions are shorter check-ins focused on progress and current problems. Rob also reviews messages and voice notes during the week as part of ongoing support.

People come to him for many concerns including trauma, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, chronic illness and intimacy-related issues. He also offers help with attachment and communication problems, body image, bereavement and forgiveness work. Rob aims to make conversations feel welcoming and non-judgemental so people can move at their own pace.

To start, clients use the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Rob's approaches can suit online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape present relationships and emotional reactions, helping people with attachment issues, abandonment concerns and relationship struggles. Client-centred therapy focuses on a non-judgemental listening stance where the person sets the pace and goals, which can help with self-esteem, grief and identity questions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Rob will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will try methods that fit your needs. Therapy is presented as a collaborative effort where feedback guides adjustments to style and focus over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats with the therapist before booking. The biography notes regular scheduled slots and that Rob reviews messages and voice notes during the week, so these elements may form part of how he works. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time so people can build consistent support into everyday life.
