About Adrian
Adrian Robson is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, work issues and life changes. He works with people facing grief, relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD. Adrian brings 17 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, human approach to each session.
He practices from a person-centred base, which means he focuses on listening and building a genuine therapeutic relationship. That approach is combined with ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Adrian also uses mindfulness and somatic ideas when they may help someone feel more grounded in the body.
Adrian’s background includes over 25 years of work in physical health and somatic bodywork, which shapes how he listens for bodily signals as well as words. He often attends to how emotions show in the body and invites gentle awareness of physical sensations when useful.
Sessions are collaborative. Adrian encourages honesty, warmth and practical reflection rather than quick fixes. He aims to help people connect with their strengths and make choices that feel authentic to them.
People come to him for both personal and workplace difficulties, including coping with chronic illness, cancer, chronic pain, fatherhood concerns, workplace stress and a sense of emptiness or loss of purpose. He supports clients towards clearer self-understanding and steady, sustained change.
How Adrian's approaches translate to online therapy
Adrian blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural and somatic-informed ways of working. Person-centred therapy focuses on attentive listening and building a trusting relationship, helping people feel heard and understood as they talk through their concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be practised and reviewed between sessions. Somatic work pays attention to bodily sensations and movement, using gentle awareness of physical signals to support emotional integration and grounding.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Adrian will work with each person to decide what feels useful, adapting the balance of listening, practical exercises and bodily awareness to meet their needs and goals. Together they set the pace and try different ways of working to see what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and offer quicker access from different locations. It also allows for flexible session lengths or check-ins where helpful, and can support steady progress on workplace stress, anxiety, grief and other issues while you manage daily commitments.
