About Adrian
Adrian Hepburn is a counsellor with four years' experience in psychotherapy and additional experience supporting young adults with complex learning needs. He aims to build a trusting, non-judgemental working relationship. Adrian focuses on listening first and understanding the day-to-day difficulties someone brings to therapy.
He uses a relational style, centring on the connection between therapist and client. Sessions look at familiar thoughts, feelings and behaviours and how these play out both in and outside sessions. Adrian will help people decide what changes they want to make and the steps to start them.
His clinical interest includes relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, anxiety, depression and trauma. He also attends to issues such as grief, low self-esteem, sleeping problems and intimacy-related concerns. Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, codependency and communication difficulties.
Adrian is a BACP member, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He also notes a Trainee membership with the UK Council for Psychotherapy and follows their ethical codes of practice. He stresses respect, sensitivity and compassion in his work.
People can expect practical conversations about what feels important to them. Communication and plans are tailored to individual needs. Adrian describes beginning therapy as a shared step, with the aim of supporting change and personal growth.
How psychodynamic ideas guide online work
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns in thoughts, feelings and relationships that repeat over time. It aims to bring these patterns into awareness so people can make different choices about how they respond. This approach is often used for long-standing issues such as relationship patterns, low self-esteem, grief and some trauma-related concerns.Adrian’s relational way of working means he pays attention to how people experience connection in the therapy space. Together they reflect on what comes up in session and link that to everyday life. He will work collaboratively to find approaches that match a person’s goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, for example by saving travel time or allowing sessions during a lunch break. It can also allow a shorter check-in when energy is low, or remove the need to travel when someone finds that difficult. Registered and accredited professionals can use different formats, and Adrian will help identify the best way to work together based on individual needs.
