About Rob
Rob Millist is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. He offers short-term and longer-term support and combines practical tools with reflective conversation. Rob works in English and provides sessions through video, phone, live chat, and messaging.
Rob takes a straightforward, calm approach. He begins with a longer first session to understand what brought someone to therapy and to set clear goals. Later sessions tend to be 45 minutes and focused on progress each week.
How Rob works
He uses a simple wellbeing score in some work to track changes over time. In the room he balances thinking and feeling. That means noticing patterns from the past while also trying small, practical steps now.
He uses grounding and mindfulness to help manage stress and anxiety, and cognitive techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts. Rob has supported people around stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting pressures. He also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, career worries, and ADHD.
Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, autism and Asperger syndrome, and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. He has worked in one-to-one and corporate settings and has experience supporting organisations and voluntary services. Rob aims to make sessions practical and easy to follow, helping people notice small changes that add up over time.

How Rob's approaches work online
Attachment-based work pays attention to patterns that began in close relationships and how they affect current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns and try new ways of connecting and responding. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where the pace is set by the client. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and space to make sense of things. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses simple experiments and tools to change unhelpful cycles; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rob treats approach selection as a collaboration and will talk through options based on a person's goals and preferences. Together they agree on practical steps and review whether the chosen methods are helping as therapy progresses. Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit quicker check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter reflections, notes between sessions, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options aim to make therapy flexible and accessible while keeping the focus on steady, workable progress.Start online instead of waiting
