About Adrian
Adrian Hepburn is a counsellor with four years' experience in psychotherapy. He has also spent up to six years supporting young adults with complex learning needs. Adrian focuses on relationship and family difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma and self-harm, and issues linked to ADHD and autism.
He uses a relational style and aims to build a steady working relationship. Sessions are intended to be a place where people can speak without judgement and feel listened to.
Background and approach
Adrian pays attention to patterns of thinking and behaviour that turn up both in therapy and everyday life. In the room he works with clients to reflect on familiar feelings and reactions. Together they decide which changes matter most and what practical steps to try between sessions.
He adapts the way he communicates to match each person's needs. Adrian is a BACP member, which reflects adherence to that organisation's code of practice. He also holds trainee membership with the UK Council for Psychotherapy and follows professional standards from those bodies.
He commonly supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, intimacy or sleeping problems, low self-esteem and life transitions. Additional areas of focus include caregiver stress, codependency, isolation and men's issues. Adrian offers a respectful, sensitive approach that aims to help people take the first steps toward change.
He describes starting therapy as a collaborative process and invites clients to set the pace and goals that feel right for them.

Psychodynamic work online and how it helps
Adrian uses psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns in feelings and relationships. This approach looks at how past experiences and repeated reactions shape current difficulties. It can be helpful for anxiety, relationship problems, trauma-related reactions and low self-esteem because it encourages reflection on recurring feelings and choices.He emphasises a relational way of working, which means figuring out together how therapy should proceed. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences rather than assuming one fixed path.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexible options. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can fit short check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel and allow sessions from different locations without the need to travel.
