About Adrian
Adrian Robson is a BACP counsellor with 17 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, coping with life changes, sleep problems, self-esteem, career questions, depression and ADHD. He also attends to issues linked to chronic illness, pain, cancer, communication problems and men's concerns.
Adrian trained as a person-centred counsellor and integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy where it is useful. Sessions focus on practical thinking and behaviour patterns as well as on the quality of the therapeutic relationship. He listens to what is said and to what may be expressed in the body.
His background includes over 25 years of work in physical health and somatic bodywork. That experience shapes how he notices bodily responses and helps people reconnect with physical sensations that relate to emotion or stress. It informs gentle, body-aware ways of noticing change alongside talking work.
Adrian describes therapy as a collaborative process. He asks straightforward questions, reflects on what clients bring, and sometimes offers small, practical experiments to try between sessions. Change is approached step by step rather than by quick fixes.
People often come for help with grief, midlife shifts, workplace strain, parenting pressures or ongoing anxiety and depression. Sessions can address guilt, isolation, life purpose and issues around fatherhood and self-worth. Adrian aims to support clearer thinking and steadier coping in everyday life.
How Adrian uses CBT, person-centred work and somatic awareness online
Adrian commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and to try practical alternatives. CBT work online can include identifying thinking patterns, setting small behavioural experiments and reviewing what changes in daily life.He also uses a person-centred approach which emphasises clear listening and reflective responses. This approach focuses on understanding what matters to the person and building a collaborative working relationship. His somatic background means he may invite attention to bodily sensations or posture as part of the work, describing what a person notices and linking those sensations to stress or emotion.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the initial work. The therapist will talk with each person about what they want and suggest methods to try. That collaborative discussion helps decide whether to use more CBT techniques, person-centred reflection, or gentle somatic noticing.
