About Rob

Rob Millist is a counsellor registered with the BACP and NCPS with seven years' experience. He works from the United Kingdom and helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and career difficulties, addictions, trauma and related concerns.

Rob describes his way of working as straightforward and practical. He offers an initial 50 minute session to review presenting issues, goals and a monthly Wellbeing Score. Regular sessions are 45 minutes long. He also reviews messages and voice notes during the week to support progress between sessions.

In session he combines conversation with simple grounding practices. He uses talking, reflection and brief skills to help people manage strong feelings and reduce reactivity. He aims to work at a pace people can manage, focusing on what they want to change and how their everyday life is affected.

Rob has experience in one-to-one and corporate settings and has worked regularly with organisations such as Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS. That background feeds into a practical focus on confidence building and coping strategies rather than technical descriptions of therapy.

People who book with him should expect to set measurable goals and track a Wellbeing Score over time. Sessions are intended to be active and task-focused when useful, with time for reflection and understanding of patterns such as attachment or past hurt.

If you are thinking about working on anger, stress or related issues, he invites you to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session so you can agree aims together.

Approaches used online and how they help

Rob commonly draws on Attachment-Based work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) when working with anger and related issues. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect reactions now. It can help people notice why certain situations trigger anger and rehearse different responses. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new coping habits for stress and anger.

He also uses Client-Centred ideas in sessions, which means listening closely and working at a pace set by the client. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will help you agree goals and choose techniques that match your needs and preferences as the work progresses.

Please confirm the current remote session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins by message or voice note between meetings, and make it simpler to practise skills in everyday settings. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises for video or phone work so skills can be practised between sessions.
