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 aims to build a steady, respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood.
He uses a relational, psychodynamic approach that focuses on patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour. Sessions look at how past experiences affect current relationships and reactions. The work is conversational and reflective rather than prescriptive.
Background and approach
Adrian commonly talks through relationship strains, family tension, anxiety, depression and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with ADHD- and autism-related challenges, grief, self-harm thoughts and sleep disruption. He pays attention to practical struggles such as low self-esteem, isolation and communication problems.
Adrian is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and also holds Trainee membership with the UK Council for Psychotherapy. He follows their ethical codes of practice and adapts sessions to fit each person's needs. In sessions he invites people to reflect on repeating patterns and to choose small, realistic changes.
He balances listening with gentle challenge. The focus is on understanding what matters to the individual and deciding together on practical next steps.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Psychodynamic work online and accessible options
Adrian offers psychodynamic therapy online, which looks at how early experiences and recurring patterns shape feelings and relationships. This approach helps when people notice repeating reactions in relationships, persistent low mood, anxiety or struggles with self-esteem. It uses conversation to make those patterns clearer and understand how they affect day-to-day life.His relational style means the therapeutic relationship itself is part of the work. Adrian will collaborate with each person to decide whether psychodynamic work fits their aims and whether to focus on current problems or longer-term patterns. He discusses goals and adapts the pace and emphasis to match needs and preferences.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more of the face-to-face feel, while phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life, offering flexibility and consistent contact with a registered professional.
