About Adrian
Adrian Robson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 17 years' experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting and self‑esteem, as well as work and life transitions including career and midlife issues.
Adrian combines a person-centred way of working with influences from cognitive behavioural therapy. That means he aims to listen first and help clients find practical ways to change thoughts and behaviours when that is useful. He also draws on mindfulness and somatic approaches to attend to bodily experience alongside thoughts and feelings.
He has a long background in physical health and somatic bodywork. That experience shapes how he listens - noting not only what is said but also what may be held in the body. He sometimes invites gentle attention to bodily sensations to help people better understand emotional patterns.
Sessions are presented as a collaborative relationship. Adrian aims to be honest and direct while encouraging people to explore difficult material at their own pace. He may ask searching questions or offer challenges when that seems likely to open space for change.
People come to him for a range of issues from depression and anxiety to grief, parenting strain and workplace stress. He works with practical coping strategies alongside deeper exploration of self‑understanding, so people can make choices that suit their lives.
To begin he asks people to reflect on what they want to change and what matters to them. From there he helps create a plan that mixes listening, behavioural practice and attention to bodily experience where helpful.

How his approaches translate to online work
Adrian uses a person-centred foundation that focuses on listening and understanding. This approach concentrates on the therapeutic relationship and on helping people name what matters to them. It suits people who want reflective, talk‑based work to clarify feelings and decisions.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used alongside person‑centred work to offer practical strategies. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing different behaviours to reduce distress. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression and workplace stress where skills and experiments are useful.
Mindfulness is offered as a complementary practice to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away. Somatic ideas may be used to bring attention to how emotions show up in the body and to develop more helpful ways of responding to stress.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Adrian will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and they will decide collaboratively what methods to try and for how long.
