About Adrian
Adrian Robson offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or big life transitions. He aims to help clients make sense of strong feelings, reconnect with their inner strengths, and find practical ways to cope. Adrian writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard from the first session.
He trained as a Person-Centred Counsellor and uses that approach as the base of his work. This means he focuses on building a trusting relationship and following the client's lead.
Background and approach
He also brings influence from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes that can make a difference. Adrian has more than 17 years of experience and a long background in physical health and somatic bodywork.
That experience shapes how he notices bodily signals as part of emotional life, and he may gently invite attention to sensations that connect to feelings. Sessions aim to be warm, honest and grounded. Adrian works at the client's pace and may offer practical strategies alongside deeper reflective work.
He supports people through grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, workplace stress, chronic illness and other life challenges. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are carried out in English and international clients are accepted.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Adrian works online
He also uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot patterns of thinking that make problems worse and to test small, practical changes. CBT-style work can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adrian will work collaboratively to decide which elements suit your needs and goals. He may combine relational, cognitive and somatic ideas, and will adjust methods as you progress.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel and allow access across locations. Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Many people find remote work useful for shorter check-ins, regular weekly sessions, or when juggling work and family commitments.
