About Millie
Millie Ashton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. Millie brings 15 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression and addiction concerns. They offer a calm, person-focused way of working that places the client's experience at the centre.
Millie uses a client-centred approach that follows what a person brings into the room. Sessions often shift focus as new issues come up. Cognitive behavioural techniques are also used to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes that make everyday life easier.
Background and approach
They have long experience supporting people through trauma and abuse, gender dysphoria and LGBT issues, and the practical pressures of parenting, adoption and foster care. Millie also helps with relationship strain, anger, grief and work-related stress. Additional special interests include ADHD, caregiver stress, attachment issues and substance concerns.
Millie aims to treat people with sensitivity and without stigmatising labels. Conversations and plans are shaped to fit each person's needs and pace. They encourage honest reflection and practical steps rather than quick fixes.
People who choose Millie can expect a steady, respectful approach and options that combine talk-based therapy with focused CBT tools. Millie is open about recommending a change of counsellor if a better fit would help a person reach their goals.

Approaches Millie lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and introduces practical exercises to test different behaviours. In online work CBT techniques can be shared in-session and practiced between meetings, with check-ins by message or short calls.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Millie will work together with the person to decide whether a client-centred pathway, CBT tools, or a mix of both suits their goals and day-to-day needs. This is a collaborative process that adapts over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into short breaks or when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options provide quick check-ins or a quieter way to reflect. These options give flexibility for different routines and comfort levels while keeping the focus on practical progress.
