About Millie
Millie Ashton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience. Millie works in a client-centred way, helping people bring whatever matters to them into a session and guiding the conversation where it needs to go. The focus is set by the person who attends, and Millie aims to offer respectful, compassionate support without labels.
Millie commonly helps people feeling anxious, stressed or low, and those dealing with grief, trauma, or difficult relationships. There is experience supporting people with gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns, as well as addiction, ADHD and parenting strains. Millie also lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues and caregiver stress.
Sessions are shaped around what the person brings each time. Millie explains things plainly and encourages honest reflection. Goals are practical and may change as progress is made.
Millie has worked for many years with young people in foster care and with adults affected by emotional or physical abuse. That background informs a steady, patient way of working and an emphasis on safety and respect in sessions.
People are invited to set the pace and to review how things are going. If a person feels the fit is not right, Millie supports finding another therapist who might suit better. The overall aim is steady, realistic steps towards feeling more able to cope and make choices that fit everyday life.
Approaches that shape online work
Millie uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's concerns and priorities first. Sessions focus on what you bring each time and follow the pace you set, which can help when sorting through ongoing stress or relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used alongside a client-centred stance when helpful. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and practical coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Millie will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That way the work remains practical and tailored, and adjustments can be made as your needs change.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different places. Some formats may suit brief check-ins while others allow longer conversations when needed. Discussing practical arrangements at the start helps make sessions work alongside everyday life.
