About Millie
Millie Ashton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on straightforward, person-centred work. Millie draws on 15 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also supports those facing relationship difficulties, grief, addiction and challenges relating to gender and LGBT wellbeing.
Millie uses a client-centred way of working. Sessions follow what the person brings and can shift as new things come up. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice patterns of thinking and try small, practical changes.
Her background includes many years caring for teenagers in foster care, which shaped her understanding of trauma, attachment and care-related stress. That experience informs a calm, non-judgemental approach when talking about painful past events or ongoing pressures.
Millie aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She avoids stigmatising labels and works to tailor conversation and plans to each person’s needs. If a client feels the fit is not right she encourages exploring other options so they get the best possible help.
Sessions are presented as a collaborative process. Millie listens, supports and helps people take practical steps towards clearer thinking and better coping in everyday life.
How Millie's approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person in the moment. The counsellor gives space, reflects what is said and supports people to find their own solutions; this can help with low mood, relationship worries and identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small practical steps to feel and function better, useful for anxiety, stress and depressive moods.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Millie will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and decide together whether a client-centred style, CBT techniques or a blend feels best. The therapist frames this as a collaborative process and checks in as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions are run. Many people value the convenience of remote sessions when it helps them keep therapy consistent.
