Adrian Robson, BACP

Adrian Robson is a person-centred therapist who combines a relational, empathic stance with practical, evidence-informed techniques. He integrates cognitive behavioural ideas into a warm, collaborative practice, offering a flexible blend of supportive listening and focused interventions when they are useful. Adrian's long experience in physical health and somatic bodywork - spanning more than 25 years - has shaped the way he attends to both spoken material and the bodily sensations that can accompany emotional experience.

He aims to provide a grounded, non-judgemental space where people can explore what feels difficult or unclear at their own pace. Adrian places emphasis on a genuine therapeutic relationship built on empathy, honesty, and respect, and he sees therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is the expert on their own life. At times he may invite gentle attention to bodily sensations or shifts in feeling, as these often offer useful information for understanding and integration.

Adrian often works with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting and self-esteem. He also supports people facing long-term health conditions, chronic pain, career challenges, and moments of life transition. Rather than seeking quick fixes, he encourages work that may involve facing uncomfortable material in order to foster lasting personal growth. Adrian aims to help people reconnect with their inner resources, develop clearer self-understanding, and make choices that feel authentic to who they are.
