About Adrian

Adrian Hepburn helps people work through relationship, family and parenting concerns using a relational, psychodynamic approach. He also supports people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, compassion fatigue, grief, self-harm thoughts and intimacy-related difficulties. Adrian is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in psychotherapy work.

He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Sessions focus on how past and present relationships influence current difficulties. Adrian aims to build a steady working relationship so clients can reflect on what repeats for them and what they would like to change.

Adrian has up to six years' experience supporting young adults with complex learning needs alongside his psychotherapy work. He often works with people who have ADHD or autism and with those experiencing caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems and isolation or loneliness.

Practical concerns such as sleeping problems, low self-esteem, impulsivity and seasonal mood changes are included alongside deeper relational material. He also supports people managing grief, guilt, shame and issues around self-love and self-harm thoughts.

Sessions are conversational and reflective. Adrian and the person he works with decide together what to focus on and which changes to try. He aims to adapt his way of working to each person's communication style and needs.

Psychodynamic work and remote counselling

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns that repeat in relationships and how early experiences shape feelings and behaviour. It helps when people want to understand why they respond repeatedly in certain ways and how that affects close relationships and self-image.

Adrian offers a relational way of working that emphasises the therapeutic relationship itself. That approach uses conversation and reflection to notice patterns, consider how they show up now, and decide on changes together. This can suit people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD-related or autism-related challenges, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Adrian will work collaboratively to choose the best fit based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. He will adapt communication and the focus of sessions as those needs become clearer.
