About Rob
Rob Millist is a counsellor who brings seven years of practice to sessions. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works from the United Kingdom. He aims to make people feel welcome and understood, using straightforward conversation and grounding techniques to manage day-to-day stress and strong emotions.
Rob combines practical talking therapy with simple tools you can use between sessions. He offers an initial 50 minute meeting to review concerns and set goals.
Background and approach
After that, regular sessions usually run for 45 minutes. He also reviews messages and voice notes during the week to keep momentum between meetings. His work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, anger and self-esteem.
He also supports people dealing with relationship and family problems, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping issues, and career questions. LGBT issues and intimacy-related concerns are listed among his focus areas. Rob draws on several therapeutic approaches to match individual needs.
He uses attachment-based ideas to look at long-standing relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with thinking and behaviour changes. A client-centred stance means sessions are guided by each person’s priorities.
Rob has experience in both one-to-one and corporate settings and has worked with organisations such as Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS. He uses a wellbeing score to track progress and discusses it in early sessions so goals are clear. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Rob’s approaches work in online counselling
Rob often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape feelings and behaviour. This approach can help people who notice repeated difficulties in intimacy, trust or managing strong emotions.He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and adjust behaviour. CBT is practical and can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping day-to-day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rob will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try first. Sessions are collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tools and exercises to suit online meetings so progress can continue between sessions.
