Adrian Robson offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, worry, grief or life changes. He works with clients who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, parenting concerns, career pressure, sleep problems and issues linked to chronic illness or pain. Adrian’s style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel heard and clearer about next steps.

Adrian trained initially as a person-centred counsellor and holds BACP accreditation.

Background and approach

He combines that relational base with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical alternatives. He also brings long experience of somatic bodywork, which informs how he listens to what the body may be communicating alongside words. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the individual.

Adrian creates space to talk things through, gently challenge stuck patterns, and practise small changes that build confidence. He may sometimes invite attention to bodily sensations or emotional shifts as part of that exploration. Clients can expect a focus on real-life problems such as parenting strain, workplace stress, grief, loneliness, and questions of meaning or self-worth.

Adrian also offers support around ADHD, trauma, fatherhood issues and men’s midlife concerns when relevant. With 17 years of practice, Adrian draws on lived experience from health and somatic work to enrich conversations. He aims to help people reconnect with their strengths and make choices that feel authentic for them.

How Adrian’s approaches work online

Adrian combines a person-centred way of working with cognitive behavioural ideas to support people remotely. Person-centred work focuses on building a trusting relationship where the client is heard and respected; this helps when someone needs a steady, empathic space to talk through emotions and life decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at practical steps to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Adrian collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean mostly person-centred conversations, adding CBT exercises between sessions, or gently attending to bodily sensations when somatic awareness feels useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat is handy for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and health needs while keeping the same therapeutic focus and continuity.
