About Millie
Millie Ashton is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. Millie draws on 15 years of experience and focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can bring whatever they are facing. Conversations are client-led and paced to each person's needs.
Millie uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely and follow what clients want to talk about. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.
How Millie works
Together these approaches help with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She has experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, addiction, anger and compassion fatigue, and she works with issues linked to gender identity and LGBT concerns. Millie also offers support around parenting, family problems, adoption and foster care, and challenges such as hoarding and caregiver stress.
Sessions commonly address relationship strain, career questions, coping with major life changes and self-esteem. Millie pays attention to how practical day-to-day habits and thinking patterns affect mood and behaviour, and she helps people try small, realistic changes between sessions. Her style is respectful and non-judgemental.
Millie encourages honest reflection and gradual steps towards clearer choices. If someone feels a different therapist would suit them better, she supports that decision and helps them move on.

How client-led and CBT work online
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and following the client's lead. The counsellor reflects what is said, asks gentle questions and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach supports those who need space to make sense of feelings and life events.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and actions influence mood. It uses clear steps to identify unhelpful thinking and to try practical experiments or small behavioural changes between sessions. This can help with anxiety, low mood and patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Millie will discuss goals and preferences and adapt sessions as understanding grows. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging lets people reflect in writing. These formats offer flexibility and help people keep continuity of care when in-person appointments are difficult.
