About Adrian

Adrian Robson works with people who are feeling stuck, anxious, low or unsure about their next steps. He offers a calm, down-to-earth way of talking through problems so people can find clearer thinking and kinder ways of relating to themselves. Adrian's approach is rooted in listening and building a trusting relationship where clients set the pace.

Adrian practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means he focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgement. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ideas to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that can make daily life easier. Mindfulness and somatic influences are woven in when paying attention to bodily sensations or emotional shifts seems useful.

His background includes many years working in physical health and somatic bodywork, which shaped how he notices both spoken concerns and what may be held in the body. That experience informs gentle attention to physical sensations during sessions when clients find that relevant.

Sessions are conducted with warmth and honesty, and the relationship itself is used as a resource for change. Adrian encourages practical steps alongside deeper self-understanding, and sometimes offers gentle challenge to open space for growth.

He has 17 years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Adrian works with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma, self-esteem, parenting concerns, workplace stress and long-term health challenges.

How Adrian mixes person-centred, CBT and online work

Adrian combines a person-centred approach with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and somatic awareness. Person-centred work means the conversation focuses on what matters most to the client, with warmth and acceptance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions, and can help with anxiety, low mood and workplace stress. Somatic attention involves noticing bodily sensations and how emotions show up in the body, which can be helpful for trauma, chronic pain or long-term health issues.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Adrian will listen to your concerns, discuss different ways of working, and together you will choose what feels most helpful for your goals and situation. He will adjust the balance between talking, practical exercises and gentle body-focused noticing as you go.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer audio-only for lower bandwidth or quieter surroundings, while others choose to work face-to-face via video when available; Adrian will help decide what suits your needs and day-to-day routine.
