About Adrian
Adrian Robson offers practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by sleep problems, stress or life changes. He creates a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about what’s keeping them awake, anxious, or stuck. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what matters most to them in daily life.
Adrian works from a person-centred base, which means he listens closely and follows the client’s concerns. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. His background in somatic bodywork shapes how he pays attention to bodily signals, so conversations can include noticing physical tension or sensations.
Across 17 years of practice he has supported people with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains, parenting pressures and workplace stress. He also works with issues linked to chronic illness, pain and cancer, and with those coping with major life transitions. Sleeping difficulties are one of the practical areas he helps people address alongside emotional concerns.
In sessions Adrian aims to be honest and warm. He invites reflection and sometimes gentle challenge to help clients try different ways of thinking and behaving. The focus is on building self-understanding and small, realistic changes that fit everyday life.
People who choose him can expect a steady, collaborative approach. He helps clients notice patterns in thinking, feeling and the body, and then work on practical steps to improve sleep, mood and day-to-day functioning.
How Adrian's approaches translate to online therapy
Adrian uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on the client’s concerns and what they want to change. This approach helps people feel heard and set goals that make sense for their day-to-day life. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in his practice looks at unhelpful thinking and practical steps to shift patterns - useful for anxiety, sleep problems and mood changes. Somatic awareness means he sometimes invites attention to bodily sensations and tension as part of understanding stress and sleeplessness.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss what seems most helpful based on each person’s goals, symptoms and preferences. Over time he adapts methods so they fit the client’s pace and life demands.
If you are considering online sessions, check the session options when you book to confirm how Adrian is currently meeting clients. Many people find online work easier to fit into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. Online appointments can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins between work or family commitments, and make it simpler to build regular sleep or stress-management routines. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally aim to make online work as focused and practical as in-person therapy.
