Millie Ashton, BACP

Millie Ashton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom.

About Millie

Millie Ashton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. Millie draws on 15 years of practice to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. They use a straightforward, person-centred way of working that keeps each session focused on what the client brings in the moment.

Millie combines a client-centred approach with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, adapting conversations to practical aims like mood management, coping with life changes, or addressing unhelpful thinking.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped by the client’s pace and priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Millie values respect, sensitivity and compassion in every meeting. They have direct experience supporting people around relationship strain, parenting concerns, family problems, addiction, and issues linked to gender and sexuality.

Millie also has lived experience as a long-term foster carer, which informs a practical understanding of attachment, trauma and caring roles. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through and try new ways of coping. Millie is clear that counselling often takes time and honest reflection, and they will work alongside each person to set realistic steps forward.

If a particular approach or match is not working, Millie encourages clients to consider alternative therapists so they find the best fit for their needs.

How Millie’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what you say so you feel understood and able to make your own choices. It helps when people need a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings like grief, stress or identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It is useful for tackling anxiety, low mood and patterns that get in the way of daily life by trying small, practical changes between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Millie collaborates with each person to test what helps most, mixing client-led discussion with CBT tools when that fits the goal. The plan is shaped together and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or ongoing text-based messaging. Video is good for a traditional session feel, phone works well when camera use is not wanted, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and messaging can support short daily check-ins or reflection between meetings. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caring duties or busy days.
