About Adrian
Counsellor Adrian Robson is a BACP member with 17 years' experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, grief, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, parenting, self‑esteem, career difficulties, depression and ADHD.
Adrian uses a person‑centred way of working at the heart of his practice. He aims to build a respectful, honest therapeutic relationship so the client feels heard. He combines that relational base with cognitive behavioural ideas when they are helpful.
He also brings a long background in physical health and somatic bodywork. That experience means he listens for what is said and for what may be expressed through the body. He may at times invite gentle attention to bodily sensations to help make sense of feelings.
Sessions focus on practical conversation, exploring thoughts, feelings and reactions. Adrian encourages people to notice patterns and small changes that can make a difference. He does not offer quick fixes and expects some work outside sessions as part of the process.
Adrian has supported people through bereavement, relationship and family problems, anxiety and depression, work stress and long‑term health challenges. He aims to help clients connect with their own strengths and make choices that feel right for them.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Adrian combines person‑centred practice with cognitive behavioural ideas. Person‑centred work focuses on a respectful, collaborative relationship and listening to what matters to the client. It helps people talk through feelings and make their own decisions.Cognitive behavioural work looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and how they affect mood and action. It is useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems and workplace stress because it helps identify practical steps to try.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adrian will work with each person to agree which elements to use based on their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean mainly person‑centred conversation, adding CBT techniques, or gentle somatic attention when bodily experience is relevant. The choice is collaborative and can change over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family time and reduce travel. They also allow shorter check‑in conversations when that suits and the option to avoid being on camera if preferred. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find these practical benefits help people sustain regular contact with support.
