About Adrian
Adrian Robson offers a calm, down-to-earth way of working for people feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. He creates a warm, steady space where someone can talk through worries at their own speed. Adrian aims to build a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood before making changes.
He draws on person-centred practice, which means the conversation is shaped around the person's needs rather than a fixed agenda. He also uses practical ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy to help with unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Background and approach
These approaches are mixed with somatic awareness that pays attention to what the body is signalling. Adrian has 17 years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. His background includes long experience in physical health and bodywork, which influences how he notices bodily signals alongside words.
That experience can help when stress, sleep problems, chronic pain or somatic symptoms are present. Sessions aim to be collaborative. He listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings and bodily reactions, and gently offers different ways of understanding them.
He may invite simple exercises to notice sensation, or practical steps to shift thinking and behaviour. People come to Adrian with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, family or relationship worries, work stress, ADHD and life transitions. He supports people exploring meaning, self-esteem and midlife or fatherhood struggles, helping them find clearer ways forward.
How Adrian works online with different therapy styles
Adrian blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and somatic awareness. Person-centred therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental relationship so someone can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to make sense of their life.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, uses practical steps to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and workplace stress because it breaks issues into small, workable tasks. Somatic awareness invites gentle attention to bodily sensations and can be helpful where stress, chronic pain or somatic symptoms are involved.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and together decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy with Adrian is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
