About Millie
Millie Ashton is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. Millie brings 15 years of experience and a down-to-earth, person-centred way of working. She aims to offer a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them.
Her approach focuses on following the client’s lead in sessions. Conversations steer the work, and aims can shift as needs become clearer. Millie uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, so she combines open listening with practical techniques when useful.
Background and approach
She has supported people with depression, anxiety, grief and trauma. Millie also works with issues linked to gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns, addictions, hoarding and relationship difficulties. She has an interest in adoption and foster care, attachment questions, caregiver stress and ageing-related worries.
Millie has ten years' lived experience as a foster carer for teenagers who experienced emotional, physical and sexual abuse. That background informs her understanding of trauma, boundaries and the needs of people who have been through difficult life events. She describes her work as practical and compassionate.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and tailored. Millie encourages honesty and reflection and will adjust the plan if something isn't working. She invites people to be open about fit, even suggesting a change of counsellor if that would help progress.
Talking with a counsellor can take time, and Millie prepares people for steady, realistic change. She offers support for those ready to take the next steps towards better coping and clearer choices.

How Millie works online
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Millie will discuss what feels useful and blend listening with practical exercises where helpful. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as goals and needs become clearer.
Many people find online therapy easier to fit into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions. If you want to arrange online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling simpler, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed.
