About Rob

Rob Millist works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and a broad range of emotional and behavioural concerns using a blend of person-centred approaches and practical techniques. He is listed with BACP and NCPS and has seven years' experience in counselling and coaching work in one-to-one and organisational settings.

Rob uses a mix of attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness in sessions. He offers structured time for reviewing immediate goals alongside space to talk through painful events and life transitions. He also uses a wellbeing score tool to help track changes over time.

He has worked with voluntary and charitable services, including Youthline UK, Mind and PAWS, and brings experience from both clinical and corporate environments. That background informs a flexible approach that can include short-term focused work or longer conversations about personal patterns and relationships.

Sessions focus on practical skills as well as exploring underlying feelings and relationships. Typical topics include self-esteem, addictions, career concerns, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with chronic illness or grief. Additional attention is given to attachment issues, autism and neurodiversity, and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.

Rob aims to work at a pace set by the person attending and includes grounding techniques to help manage emotional stress. He reviews messages and voice notes between sessions during the week, and uses an initial 50-minute assessment to set out goals before moving to regular 45-minute slots.

How Rob uses psychological approaches in online work

Rob draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and how early connections can affect current feelings and behaviours; this helps when people bring issues around abandonment, intimacy or communication problems. He also uses client-centred methods which focus on listening and reflecting so the person can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and some behaviour-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rob discusses goals and preferences in the first session and adjusts methods as needed, so decisions about focus and techniques are collaborative rather than fixed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily commitments, and they can reduce travel time. Shorter check-ins and flexible scheduling are practical benefits that help keep progress steady while fitting into everyday life.
