About Rob
Rob Millist is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has seven years' experience. He works in the United Kingdom and supports adults with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship problems and issues tied to identity and sexuality.
Rob combines talking and practical techniques in sessions. He uses grounding and mindfulness to reduce strong feelings. He also draws on cognitive approaches to help people look at thoughts that keep them stuck.
In practice he offers one-to-one counselling and coaching in both individual and some organisational settings. He has worked with charities such as Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS. He uses a simple wellbeing measure called a Wellbeing Score to track how someone is feeling from session to session.
Rob aims for clear, direct conversation about what is causing guilt, shame or stress. He will listen for patterns around attachment, abandonment and intimacy, and help people explore how those patterns affect day-to-day life. He talks through coping strategies and practical steps that can be tried between sessions.
Sessions include a mix of exploring past experiences and focusing on present problems. He uses client-centred listening alongside psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused tools. That mix is intended to help people understand why they feel stuck and to find manageable ways forward.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Rob commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when worries about abandonment, trust or intimacy keep returning. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rob will discuss what feels most useful based on your history, goals and preferences, and will adapt methods as you both learn what helps. That collaborative decision-making is intended to keep the work practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into work or family life by avoiding travel and by offering more flexible scheduling. Remote sessions can also make it easier to do short check-ins, use audio rather than video where needed, or try grounding practices between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals vary in how they run online work, and Rob will discuss practical arrangements when you book.
