Adrian Robson

Adrian Robson offers calm, steady support for people feeling alone, stuck, or overwhelmed. He focuses on helping individuals who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains, and loneliness. Adrian writes in plain language and aims to talk things through at a pace that suits each person.

He trained as a Person-Centred counsellor and uses that as the foundation of his work. Adrian also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, and somatic approaches when these are helpful to the person in front of him. This blend lets him balance a warm, listening presence with practical ways to notice thoughts, feelings and bodily signals.

Adrian has a long history of working with people affected by physical health issues and bodywork, spanning over 25 years before his counselling career. That experience shapes how he pays attention to the body as part of emotional life and recovery. He listens for what is said and for what might be held in the body.

Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Adrian aims to build a genuine relationship based on empathy and honesty, and he may gently invite attention to bodily sensations or emotional shifts to help understanding. He supports people to reconnect with inner strengths and to make changes that feel authentic.

With 17 years of therapeutic experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Adrian works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including to international clients. He encourages people to move at their own pace and to use therapy as a place to make sense of difficult life moments.

How Adrian uses person-centred, CBT and somatic ideas online

Adrian blends Person-Centred counselling with Cognitive Behavioural and somatic-informed ideas. Person-Centred work focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship to help people make sense of their lives. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers practical ways to test and shift unhelpful patterns. Somatic work brings attention to bodily sensations and simple ways of noticing how the body responds to stress or emotion, which can be helpful for grief, anxiety and chronic pain.

Finding the right combination can take a few conversations. Adrian approaches this collaboratively and will talk with each person about what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try, and adapt as progress and needs become clearer.

For practicalities, please confirm the current session formats before booking as these are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or longer check-ins when needed. They also allow someone to work with a therapist from another country if timing and scheduling line up. Adrian frames online work around the same aims as face-to-face therapy - listening, noticing patterns, and helping people find ways forward that fit their everyday life.
