Rob Millist

Rob Millist is a counsellor with seven years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, anger and relationship issues. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials and uses a practical, approachable style that aims to make conversations straightforward. Rob combines listening with simple grounding techniques to help people manage strong emotions and day-to-day pressures.

He offers an initial 50 minute session to review presenting issues and set goals, then 45 minute weekly appointments for ongoing work. He also uses a monthly Wellbeing Score to track progress and checks messages and voicenotes during the week to follow up between sessions.

Rob’s practice blends several methods. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings. He uses client-centred ways of working so the person feels heard and guided at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding.

Sessions include grounding and mindfulness tools to calm the body when emotions run high. He also brings psychodynamic thinking into longer term work to look at repeated patterns. Rob aims to keep things practical, helping people build confidence and cope better with life changes, addictions, grief and other concerns.

People choose Rob when they want clear, steady support and simple tools for managing mood, anger and everyday stress. He works in English and practices in the United Kingdom.

How different approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. It helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment or repeating painful patterns to understand why they respond as they do and to find new ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting people at their own pace. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the person can explore feelings and make choices that fit their life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests practical ways to change them. It is useful for anxiety, anger and sleep or appetite problems where learning new responses can reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and pick techniques that suit you. That decision is collaborative and can adapt as progress is made.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. Many people find they can practise grounding or mindfulness between sessions and bring those experiences back to therapy for discussion.
