Rob Millist is a counsellor with seven years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and life changes. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works online using short weekly sessions alongside message check-ins. Rob aims to make sessions welcoming and easy to follow so people can take small steps forward.

He blends practical conversation with gentle grounding exercises to manage emotional stress. Sessions often start with a 50 minute meeting to clarify concerns and goals, then move to 45 minute slots for ongoing work.

Background and approach

Rob also uses a monthly Wellbeing Score to help track how someone is feeling over time. Rob uses a mix of talking-based methods to suit different needs. He draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Client-centred methods keep the focus on the person's own aims and pace. Rob works with a wide range of concerns including depression, addiction, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD and eating or sleep problems.

He also supports people dealing with career stress, body image, chronic illness and communication difficulties. He is familiar with topics such as BDSM and alternative sex culture and attachment or abandonment themes. Sessions are offered in English and are only for people based in the United Kingdom.

Online work can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging according to what suits each person. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. Online sessions can explore these themes through conversation and exercises that help people notice recurring patterns and try new ways of relating.

Client-centred therapy keeps the focus on the person's goals and pace. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps someone find their own solutions, which can suit video or text formats where people prefer a gentler, person-led pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviours. It often uses practical tasks and short exercises between sessions, which adapt well to phone or messaging follow-ups.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rob will discuss options and tailor methods to the person's needs, goals and preferences. The choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers short check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while keeping continuity of care.
