Adrian Robson

Adrian Robson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 17 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma, parenting strains, career doubts and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Adrian trained primarily in person-centred counselling and blends that with cognitive behavioural ideas when they are useful. He also draws on mindfulness and somatic work from his long background in physical health and bodywork. In practice this means conversations that focus on what matters to the client, together with practical ways to notice thoughts, feelings and bodily signals.

Sessions tend to be relational and collaborative. Adrian listens to what is said and what may be held in the body, and he will sometimes invite gentle attention to bodily sensations or emotional shifts as part of the work. He aims to be honest and straightforward, and to challenge unhelpful patterns when that will help someone move forward.

People come to him for very practical concerns - sleeping problems, workplace stress, parenting pressures, chronic illness or cancer-related distress, feelings of emptiness, or trouble with self-esteem and guilt. He also supports those facing midlife questions, fatherhood issues, isolation, and longstanding somatic symptoms.

Adrian asks people to approach therapy as a process rather than a quick fix. He helps clients notice patterns, make clearer choices, and develop ways of coping that fit their daily life.

How Adrian’s approaches translate to online work

Adrian uses a person-centred foundation alongside cognitive behavioural work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and building a genuine therapeutic relationship, which helps people talk through uncertainty, relationship worries and life changes. Cognitive behavioural ideas look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and can be useful for stress, anxiety, sleeping problems and workplace difficulties.

He also brings somatic awareness into sessions when it seems helpful. This involves noticing bodily sensations and simple ways of attending to them to understand how emotions show up in the body, which can be relevant for trauma, chronic pain, or somatisation issues.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. He works collaboratively to identify which methods feel most useful, adjusting as goals and preferences become clearer. Clients shape the focus and pace of the sessions together with the counsellor.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to arrange shorter check-ins or regular appointments. Adrian aims to help clients apply therapeutic tools in everyday situations so the work can fit into daily life rather than compete with it.
