About Rob

Rob Millist is a counsellor with seven years of practical experience. He offers a warm, straightforward approach that helps people tackle stress, anxiety and other personal challenges. Rob works from a mix of conversation and simple skills, and he uses a monthly Wellbeing Score to track how things are changing over time.

Rob has worked in one-to-one and corporate settings and has been a regular counsellor for Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS. He blends conversational listening with practical grounding techniques to help reduce emotional overwhelm and build confidence. Sessions are paced to the individual and start with a longer first meeting so goals can be set clearly.

People come to him for many concerns, including depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and difficulties with sleep or eating. He also supports men’s wellbeing and helps individuals explore identity, attachment and communication problems. Rob describes his style as approachable and goal-focused while remaining attentive to the person’s story.

Rob draws on several therapeutic ways of working to suit different needs. He uses client-centred conversation to follow what matters to the person, Cognitive Behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful patterns, and attachment-based thinking to understand relationship and intimacy issues. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas are also part of his toolbox.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. He works in the United Kingdom and offers services in English. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to his availability.

How Rob’s approaches translate to online counselling

Rob uses client-centred work to follow what matters to each person, creating space to talk through problems and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to set personal goals for change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used in short, practical ways to spot patterns in thinking and behaviour and to try small experiments that can reduce anxiety or improve mood. CBT-style tasks can be discussed and adjusted during sessions to fit everyday life.

Attachment-based ideas are applied to understand patterns in relationships and intimacy. These ideas help people who feel stuck repeating old ways of relating or who want clearer boundaries and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rob will work together with each client to choose which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning includes reviewing the monthly Wellbeing Score to see what is helping and what to change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list every option. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when a full appointment is not needed. It can also let people choose a quieter time or a simpler audio-only conversation when video is not practical.
