About Adrian

Adrian Robson helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career issues, depression and ADHD. He works in a person-centred way with cognitive behavioural influence and somatic awareness to support practical change and clearer self-understanding. Adrian is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 17 years of experience.

He trained first and foremost as a person-centred counsellor and integrates cognitive behavioural ideas where they help. This means sessions centre on the person's experience, with practical thinking tools used when useful to change unhelpful patterns.

Adrian also has a long background in physical health and somatic bodywork spanning over 25 years. That work informs how he listens for both spoken material and what may be expressed through the body, and he may gently draw attention to bodily sensations to aid understanding.

He describes the therapeutic work as collaborative. The counsellor aims to provide straightforward feedback, occasional challenge, and a consistent relationship to help people notice their resources and make different choices. There are no quick fixes, and change is presented as a process that often involves facing difficult material.

Across his practice Adrian has supported people through anxiety, depression, bereavement, family problems and workplace stress, among other issues. He offers practical, conversational sessions that aim to increase self-knowledge and workable strategies for daily life.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Adrian combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural and somatic awareness in a way that suits remote sessions. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship, helping people to talk through what matters and discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical strategies to change thought and behaviour patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety or low mood. Somatic-informed work pays attention to bodily sensations and how emotions show up in the body, which can be useful when addressing trauma, chronic pain or stress-related tension.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Adrian works collaboratively to agree what seems most helpful, matching methods to the client’s goals, needs and preferences rather than imposing a fixed model. He may use conversational exploration, practical exercises or gentle attention to bodily experience depending on what emerges.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins during a work break. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who find phone calls simpler, depending on the format agreed with the counsellor.
