Adrian Robson
Skilled, supportive counselling for life’s challenges
About Adrian
Adrian Robson offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. He aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable so people can talk about what feels difficult. Adrian’s style is warm and down-to-earth, and he works with a clear focus on each person’s needs.
He uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person’s experience at the heart of the sessions. That means listening carefully and helping people find their own answers rather than handing down instructions.
Background and approach
Adrian also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Adrian has a long background in physical health and somatic bodywork which influences how he pays attention to bodily sensations and the way feelings show up in the body.
He may invite gentle attention to those sensations when it seems useful, always at a pace that feels manageable. Over 17 years he has supported people with grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting worries, workplace stress and issues such as chronic pain or illness. He also helps with sleep problems, low self-esteem, midlife questions and men’s issues among other concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and Adrian accepts international clients. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom. His approach is collaborative and clear, aiming to build trust so people can explore change and grow.
To begin, Adrian encourages a gentle, honest approach to therapy where real change can take time and happens in everyday life.

Sessions & fees
Approaches you can use online
Adrian uses a client-centred way of working that places the person’s experience at the core of each session. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers, which can work well in conversation whether on video or by message.He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple, practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. CBT techniques are often helpful for problems such as anxiety, sleep difficulties and low mood and can be practised between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian will talk with people about their needs, goals and what feels comfortable, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps match the therapy to the person rather than requiring a single fixed method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial cues and tone, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and health needs while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
