Rob Millist, BACP, NCPS

Rob Millist welcomes visitors to his profile and offers a clear outline of how he works and when he is available. With seven years of counselling and coaching experience, he combines practical skills and empathic listening to support personal growth in both one-to-one and corporate settings. He is a regular counsellor for Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS and brings a head-and-heart approach to each session, blending insight with practical grounding techniques to help manage everyday emotional stresses.

Rob makes time for clients primarily on Tuesdays, with additional Thursday afternoon availability over the summer. Tuesday counselling slots run from 9am to 9pm UK time and standard appointments are 45 minutes long. The first session is 50 minutes so there is space to review presenting issues, set goals and introduce his Wellbeing Score, a measure he uses in practice to track feelings and progress month to month. Outside scheduled sessions he is available during the week to review messages and voicenotes.

He holds BACP and NCPS registrations, indicating membership with recognised professional counselling organisations. Prospective clients are invited to try a session, set the pace for exploration, and work collaboratively to identify practical steps toward the outcomes they want to achieve.

Approaches Used in Online Therapy and What to Expect

Rob commonly draws on attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy when working online. Attachment-based work explores patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds influence current connections and emotional responses; it can be helpful for issues around abandonment, intimacy and relationship difficulties. Client-centered therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic, non-directive support that helps people clarify their own goals and build self-worth. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rob collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work as progress unfolds. This collaborative exploration helps ensure the approach feels relevant and useful.

Online sessions - via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options provide flexibility around timing and location, allow for ongoing message review between sessions, and can support steady progress when regular in-person meetings are not possible. Registered professionals and therapists can tailor online methods to suit each person's pace and practical circumstances.
