Rob Millist, BACP, NCPS

Rob Millist is a counsellor with seven years' experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials and practises online from the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

Rob combines practical conversation with grounding exercises to help people manage strong emotions. He focuses on building confidence and understanding patterns that cause repeated difficulties. Sessions are paced to suit each person, with an initial meeting that looks at current concerns and goals.

His background includes work with community organisations and a mix of one-to-one and corporate coaching. That experience shapes a direct but warm style aimed at helping people make steady progress. Rob uses short exercises and clear suggestions you can try between sessions.

Rob’s areas of focus include anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, trauma and grief, plus relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar and chronic health challenges. Additional interests include attachment and abandonment, body image and communication problems.

Sessions use straightforward tools from attachment-based and cognitive approaches alongside mindfulness and client-centred conversation. He checks progress regularly so sessions stay relevant to your needs. To begin, choose the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the available times.

How Rob’s approaches work online

Rob often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns shape current relationships. This helps when feelings of abandonment, insecurity or repeated conflict are a problem.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rob discusses different ways of working and tailors the mix to a person's goals and preferences. He treats this as a collaborative process so people can test what feels helpful.

Online sessions can be easier to fit into a busy week. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins or if someone prefers not to use audio. These flexible options make it simpler to keep continuity and build progress over time.
