About Rob
Rob Millist is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers online sessions in English. Rob aims to help people manage stress and anxiety and to build confidence through steady, practical work.
Rob combines a straightforward, warm style with practical tools. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, learning grounding techniques and setting small goals. He uses a monthly wellbeing score to track how someone is doing and to shape follow-up sessions.
Background and approach
His background includes counselling in one-to-one and corporate settings. He has also worked regularly with Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS. These roles have influenced his approach to helping people handle everyday emotional pressures and major life changes.
Sessions are offered in 45 minute slots after an initial 50 minute meeting. Rob reviews messages and voice notes during the week to keep continuity between sessions. He aims to let each person set the pace while providing clear, practical steps to move forward.
People come to him for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief and relationship or intimacy issues. He also addresses topics such as ADHD, attachment difficulties, body image and coping with illness. Rob blends conversational support with simple techniques so people can use what they learn between sessions.
Approaches that suit online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early connections shape current reactions and helps people build steadier ways of relating, which can ease anxiety and attachment worries.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, helping people explore feelings and find their own direction. This approach can be useful for self-esteem, grief and life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. It is practical and goal-focused, and often used for stress, anxiety and mood difficulties.
Rob will work collaboratively to decide which approach, or mix of approaches, is most helpful. He discusses needs, goals and preferences and adapts the method as the work develops. Finding the best fit is part of the first sessions rather than a fixed choice from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, note-sharing, or people who prefer typed communication. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel.
