Adrian Robson, BACP

Adrian Robson offers a calm, down-to-earth way of working for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. He makes space for honest conversation and helps clients notice what matters most to them. His approach is warm and steady, aimed at helping people feel less stuck and more able to make choices that suit their life.

He trained as a Person-Centred Counsellor and draws on cognitive behavioural ideas when they help to clarify thoughts and patterns. Adrian also brings long experience in physical health and somatic bodywork, which influences how he listens for bodily signals as well as words. This means sessions can include gentle attention to sensations that shed light on feelings or memories.

In the therapy room he aims to be clear and straightforward. He works collaboratively, asking questions and offering reflections rather than handing down solutions. Where helpful, he may suggest exercises to try between sessions to practise new ways of thinking or coping.

Adrian has 17 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, bereavement, trauma, and long-term health challenges. He also works with issues such as parenting strain, workplace stress, self-esteem, and questions about life purpose.

Sessions are offered in English and he sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. His professional credential is BACP, which reflects his registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

How Adrian's approaches shape online therapy

Adrian works from a person-centred foundation, which means he focuses on building a trusting, empathic relationship and following what matters to each person. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy in a practical way, helping people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, testable changes. CBT-style tools can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and workplace stress.

Adrian's somatic background means he pays attention to bodily sensations and how the body holds emotion. Gentle noticing of sensations can support work with trauma, chronic pain or stress-related tension by linking physical experience and emotional understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options and adapt methods to fit the client's goals and preferences, so therapy feels collaborative rather than prescribed.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel, or choose a shorter check-in when days are full. It also lets people work with a therapist who understands both emotional and bodily aspects of their difficulties without needing to travel.
