About Rob
Rob Millist is a counsellor and a member of BACP and NCPS with seven years' experience. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Sessions aim to be practical and clear so people can decide what to work on next.
Rob offers one-to-one counselling and coaching in the United Kingdom. He has worked in both private and corporate settings, and has provided regular counselling for Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS. He uses plain language in sessions and checks progress with a wellbeing score to keep work focused.
His approach mixes listening with practical techniques. Rob draws on client-centred ways of working to prioritise what the client brings. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thinking and psychodynamic thinking to look at longer standing patterns.
Mindfulness and attachment-based ideas are part of his toolkit too. Mindfulness helps with stress, sleep and managing strong feelings. Attachment-based thinking is used to understand how early relationships can shape current difficulties.
Sessions are structured around short-term goals where useful, or longer work for deeper issues such as trauma, grief, addiction and bipolar mood management. He also supports people with concerns around sexuality, kink and alternative sex culture, autism spectrum needs, body image, chronic illness and parenting strain.
Rob records progress each month so you and he can see change over time. Before booking, check the current session options and exact costs on the booking page.
Approaches used in online counselling
Rob often uses client-centred work which focuses on what the client brings. This approach means sessions start with the issues you want to address and the counsellor follows your lead to understand those concerns.He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT-style work can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with everyday stress.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with you and agree an approach together. That may mean a short course of practical tools or deeper work over time, and the plan can be reviewed as you go.
Confirm the current session formats before booking as these are not listed on the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins when a full in-person session is difficult. If telephone or video is offered, shorter voice-only check-ins may be a simpler option when you need a quick update rather than a full session.
