Steven Robison, BACP

Steven Robison is a counsellor based near Glasgow who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem and life transitions. He uses a practical, conversational style to help people build awareness and find ways to care for themselves. He writes plainly and encourages clients to see themselves as the author of their own story.

Robison trained at The College of Holistic Medicine in Glasgow and holds BACP accreditation. He has seven years of professional experience and has worked with people struggling with motivation, confidence and long-standing patterns such as avoidant tendencies or attachment difficulties. His work also includes support around substance use and the fallout from separation or domestic difficulties.

Sessions focus on understanding how thoughts, feelings and bodily reactions connect. He draws on client-centred listening so people feel heard, and uses cognitive behavioural ideas to try different practical steps between meetings. Mindfulness and existential approaches help people name values and build small habits that matter.

He describes therapy as a collaborative process. The counsellor helps clients develop self-awareness and map out options they can try in daily life. Progress is paced to the person, with attention to what feels achievable.

People wanting to begin are invited to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Robison supports people who want to make changes and prefers clear, down-to-earth conversations about goals and obstacles.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and feelings in current life. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in relationships and practise new ways of connecting with others. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person find their own solutions; it uses reflective conversation to build clarity and self-trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps to change feelings and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about emphasis and techniques are made together, and can shift as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use conversational, skills-based work from wherever they are while keeping sessions focused on practical change and increased self-awareness.
