About Rob
Rob Millist is a counsellor with seven years of experience who offers a warm, practical style. He combines a head-and-heart approach to help people feel welcome and more confident. Rob uses short grounding techniques alongside conversation to ease strong emotions.
He asks about a person's current Wellbeing Score on the first visit to track changes over time. Rob has worked in one-to-one and corporate settings, and has been a regular counsellor for Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS.
Background and approach
He blends talking with practical exercises so people can try new ways of coping between sessions. Sessions begin with a longer first meeting to set goals and review the Wellbeing Score for the month. His practice covers a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and problems with sleep or eating.
Rob also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and addiction, as well as those exploring identity and LGBT matters. He works with life transitions, career questions and issues such as ADHD and bipolar. Rob draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques.
He also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas where they help make sense of recurring patterns. The aim is to find straightforward tools that fit each person’s life. Sessions are arranged through the site’s booking process.
The first session is 50 minutes to cover presenting issues and goals; regular sessions are 45 minutes. Rob reviews messages and voice notes during the week to support ongoing progress.

How Rob works online
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and then suggest a mix of approaches to try. Clients and the therapist review what works and adjust plans over time so sessions feel useful and realistic.
Please check the current session options before booking, as formats are arranged through the site. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a brief review is needed. It also lets people try techniques such as grounding and mindfulness exercises from their everyday environment while keeping the work focused on practical progress.
