About Rob
Rob Millist is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and career and life transitions. Rob also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions and self-esteem difficulties.
He describes a practical, conversational style that mixes talking therapy with grounding techniques. Sessions begin with a longer first meeting to go through presenting issues and agree goals. He uses a simple monthly Wellbeing Score to check progress together.
Rob has worked in both one-to-one and corporate settings and has experience with voluntary services such as Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS. That background shapes a straightforward approach to workplace stress, career questions and early-adult pressures. He also lists additional focus areas including attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems.
In sessions he draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural and Psychodynamic ideas alongside mindfulness and coaching techniques. That means conversations range from exploring past patterns and relationships to trying practical steps and coping strategies now.
People who tend to benefit are those wanting clear, regular check-ins and a mix of talking and skill-based work. Rob invites clients to set the pace and to bring questions about goals, boundaries and day-to-day coping. He works in English and practises in the UK.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Rob often blends Attachment-Based and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approaches. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy and abandonment concerns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical steps to change behaviours and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.He also draws on Client-Centred principles, which emphasise listening and working at the clients pace while the counsellor reflects and supports decision-making. Together, these approaches allow conversations about past patterns alongside straightforward coping tools for day-to-day life. Finding the right combination is part of the work, and the therapist will work with the client to agree which methods suit their goals and preferences.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so check the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or travel and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also remove the need to travel and can help people keep appointments during busy weeks, but confirm the exact session types offered when you arrange a first meeting.
