Adrian Robson , BACP

Adrian Robson is a counsellor who combines a relational, person-centered foundation with flexible, evidence-informed techniques to support people through life’s challenges. He trained first and foremost in Person-Centred practice and integrates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when those insights can benefit the work. His approach emphasizes a warm, grounded, and collaborative relationship where empathy, honesty, and respect guide the therapeutic process.

Adrian’s background includes over 25 years in physical health and somatic bodywork, experience that shapes how he listens and responds. That training supports an attuned awareness of how emotions and experiences can be held in the body, and he may gently invite attention to bodily sensations as a way of accessing insight and integration when appropriate.

In sessions, Adrian aims to help people connect with their inner strengths and resources, supporting exploration at a pace that feels manageable. He works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, parenting and fatherhood issues, sleep problems, self-esteem, career challenges, ADHD, and coping with chronic illness or pain.

He is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Adrian describes therapy as a collaborative journey focused on self-understanding, meaningful change, and practical support for moving forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Adrian draws primarily on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and somatic-informed practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic relationship where the person’s own experience guides the process - it is useful for exploring identity, relationships, and emotional blocks. CBT offers practical, structured ways to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and specific patterns that interfere with daily life. Somatic-informed work brings attention to bodily sensations and movement as another pathway to understanding emotions and healing, and can be especially helpful for trauma, chronic pain, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey, and Adrian works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He invites feedback and adapts methods so therapy feels relevant and workable.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility - they make it easier to attend from different locations, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and maintain continuity when life is changing. For many people, remote therapy with a licensed professional provides accessible, effective support while allowing therapists and clients to tailor the pace and format of sessions to individual circumstances.
