Adrian Robson, BACP

Adrian Robson is a BACP-registered counsellor with 17 years of professional experience, combining a person-centred foundation with practical cognitive behavioural insight to support clients through change and challenge. He trained primarily in Person-Centred Therapy, which shapes a relational, empathetic style, and integrates CBT techniques when structured tools or reframing are helpful. He also draws on more than 25 years of experience in physical health and somatic bodywork, which gives him a refined sensitivity to how emotions and bodily sensations can be linked.

Adrian aims to offer a warm, grounded space where people can explore what feels unclear or difficult at their own pace. His work emphasises collaboration - listening carefully, reflecting honestly, and helping clients identify inner strengths and resources that support meaningful change. At times he will gently invite attention to bodily sensations or emotional shifts, using somatic awareness as an additional route to insight and integration.

He has accompanied individuals through a wide range of human experiences, including anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, bereavement, trauma, and life transitions. Adrian’s approach is honest and respectful - not focused on quick fixes, but on helping people develop greater self-understanding, healing, and the confidence to make choices that feel authentic. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Adrian combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and somatic awareness to suit each person’s needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a supportive, non-directive relationship where the therapist offers empathy and acceptance, helping clients explore feelings and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides structured tools to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday coping. Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and movement, helping people reconnect with physical signals that relate to emotion and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Adrian works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in the moment, adapting methods as understanding deepens. The therapeutic relationship guides which techniques are introduced and how gently they are used.

Online therapy with Adrian is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, giving flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives and to reach clients across locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats, and access therapy from a place that feels comfortable.
