About Adrian
Adrian Robson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 17 years' experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, grief, life changes and questions about purpose. He also supports people with issues such as sleep problems, ADHD, workplace strain, chronic illness and fatherhood concerns.
He uses a person-centred foundation combined with cognitive behavioural ideas. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client brings. Adrian listens to both what is said and what shows up in the body, drawing on a long background in physical health and somatic bodywork.
In practice he offers a steady, straightforward relational approach. He pays attention to feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations and may invite gentle notice of those sensations when it helps. He aims to help people understand recurring patterns and make practical changes they can try between sessions.
People who feel stuck after a change in work, relationships or health may find the sessions useful for sorting priorities and testing small shifts. Adrian describes the work as collaborative - the client’s perspective guides which ideas or exercises are used.
He does not promise quick fixes. Instead the focus is on clear, honest conversation and on gradually building options that feel manageable. Over time this approach is intended to support clearer decisions about next steps and everyday coping.
How Adrian combines person-centred and somatic approaches online
Adrian draws mainly on a person-centred foundation and uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside somatic awareness. Person-centred work focuses on listening and building a genuine relationship, helping people speak about what matters and make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at how thoughts and behaviours interact and can offer simple experiments to test different responses. Somatic awareness invites attention to bodily sensations as another source of information about feelings and stress, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, chronic pain or trauma.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Adrian treats this as a collaborative decision and will discuss which methods feel useful based on a client's needs, goals and preferences. He tends to work in straightforward conversation, adding brief CBT-style exercises or gentle somatic noticing when helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a quieter setting if that suits, and reduce travel time. It also lets the therapist and client try conversational check-ins, short practical exercises, or mindful attention to bodily signals in ways that fit everyday life.
