About Adrian
Adrian Robson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 17 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family issues, depression, ADHD and a range of life changes including guilt and shame.
He draws on a person-centred foundation alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to shape conversations. Sessions focus on listening closely to what is said and noticing what is expressed in the body. This means talking about thoughts and feelings and, when helpful, gentle attention to bodily sensations.
Adrian’s background includes over 25 years in physical health and somatic bodywork. That experience influences how he listens and responds to clients, and how he uses attention to the body as another source of information about feeling and need.
In practice he aims for a collaborative relationship driven by honesty and respect. He works with people to clarify what matters to them, identify small changes, and try out different ways of responding to difficult emotions and situations.
He sometimes brings cognitive behavioural strategies into sessions to help with thinking patterns and practical coping. He also offers mindfulness-informed ways to notice feeling and breathing. There are no quick fixes; the work may involve facing uncomfortable material and testing new behaviours outside sessions.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Adrian combines a person-centred way of working with cognitive behavioural tools. Person-centred work focuses on listening, accepting what you bring, and helping you find your own answers. It is often useful when people want to explore feelings like guilt or loss without pressure to change quickly.Cognitive behavioural techniques look at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offer practical ways to test and change unhelpful habits. These techniques can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and recurring self-critical thoughts.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. Adrian works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit your needs, goals and preferences. He may suggest trying mindfulness or simple body-based noticing alongside talking, and the choice is made together as work unfolds.
Confirm the current session formats before you book so you know what is available. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a working day, to manage shorter check-ins, or to avoid travel time. Others prefer longer sessions when they can make the time. Discuss practical arrangements in the matching questionnaire and your first session so sessions can fit into everyday life without unnecessary disruption.
