About Rob
Rob Millist is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS with seven years' experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, and a wide range of other concerns including addiction, ADHD and grief. Sessions are presented as practical conversations that look at thoughts, feelings and everyday habits.
Rob has worked in one-to-one and corporate settings and has provided regular counselling for Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS. He uses straightforward techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and to try different responses. He also draws on attachment-based ideas and mindful practices to help with emotional regulation and relationship strain.
In the first meeting Rob spends a little longer to map out presenting issues and set goals, and uses a monthly Wellbeing Score to track how someone is doing over time. After that he typically works in focused sessions that aim to build practical skills, coping strategies and clearer patterns of thinking.
Rob says he mixes a head-and-heart style - discussing thinking patterns while also practising grounding tools for stress and emotion. He mentions using voice notes and message review between sessions as part of ongoing support during the week.
People who prefer clear structure, practical exercises and a mix of talking and short skill practices may find this approach suits them. Rob works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. He does not accept international clients.
Approaches used in online sessions
Rob uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT focuses on clear steps and short exercises that change thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current ways of relating and feeling. This approach helps when difficulties involve trust, abandonment or repeating relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rob collaborates with the person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He will review what helps and adjust the mix of CBT, attachment-focused work and mindful skills as sessions progress.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use grounding tools between meetings, such as voice notes, which Rob mentions reviewing during the week.
