Rob Millist
Practical counselling with coaching focus
About Rob
Rob Millist is a counsellor with seven years of experience helping people through difficult life moments. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works from the United Kingdom. He offers a warm, straightforward way of working that aims to make people feel heard and understood.
Rob combines practical coaching with counselling. Sessions often begin by spotting immediate worries and setting simple goals. He uses grounding techniques to help calm strong emotions and short exercises to build confidence between sessions.
Background and approach
His approach draws on attachment-based thinking, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural ideas. That mix helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and adjusting to big life changes. Rob also supports people facing trauma, grief, addiction and issues around identity and intimacy.
Rob has worked in one-to-one and corporate settings, and has volunteered with Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS. He says this experience shaped his focus on clear, practical steps and on measuring progress in real terms. He uses a monthly Wellbeing Score to track how someone is feeling over time.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. A typical ongoing slot is 45 minutes, with an initial meeting a little longer so goals can be set. Rob aims to move at each person’s pace and to build a practical plan that fits daily life.

Approaches that suit online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions; it can help people understand why they get stuck in certain relationship cycles. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and involves active listening and reflection to help someone find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift them over time.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will check goals, discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods as the work progresses so sessions stay relevant to the person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is lower, live chat can be convenient for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets someone reflect in writing between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
