About Rob
Rob Millist is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the NCPS with seven years' experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and questions about purpose after change. He also supports people concerned about career direction, addiction, ADHD and sexual expression including kink and BDSM.
Rob combines practical coaching with talking therapy to help people sort through what feels stuck. Sessions include review of presenting concerns and a simple wellbeing score to track how things change month to month. He offers shorter weekly slots after an initial longer meeting to set goals and priorities.
In sessions he uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to focus on how relationships shape current problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used for managing anxiety, sleep and unhelpful thinking. He also draws on psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness exercises when they help clarify patterns and reduce reactivity.
Rob has worked one-to-one and in corporate settings, and has provided counselling for Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS. That background shapes a practical, straightforward style that mixes discussion with grounding techniques and short exercises to practise between sessions.
People who come to him often want clear steps to feel less overwhelmed and more able to make decisions. He asks about goals early, and checks progress with the monthly wellbeing measure. Sessions aim to be focused and action-orientated while still making space for deeper reflection.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Rob uses attachment-based work to look at how past and current relationships influence feelings and behaviours; this can help when patterns in relationships or abandonment worries keep repeating. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person's own concerns and goals at the centre of sessions and supports clearer decision making. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques are applied for practical change, such as managing anxiety, sleep problems and unhelpful thinking patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rob treats that as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit a person's needs, aims and preferences rather than imposing a single route. Together they check progress and adapt methods where necessary.
The original profile specifies a first session of 50 minutes and weekly 45 minute slots thereafter, plus ongoing review of messages and voicenotes during the week; confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, allow brief check-ins between appointments and reduce travel time. They also let people use quieter surroundings, lower-bandwidth options or shorter formats when that suits their routine.
