About Adrian
Adrian Hepburn is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience in psychotherapy. He has also spent up to six years supporting young adults with complex learning needs. Adrian works with people who bring relationship and family concerns, depression, anxiety, grief, and issues linked to ADHD or autism.
His work is relational and focused on understanding how patterns repeat in daily life. Sessions look at familiar thoughts, feelings and behaviours and how these show up inside and outside relationships. The aim is to clarify what the person wants to change and try out different ways of responding.
Adrian often works with people dealing with compassion fatigue, parenting stress, intimacy problems and difficulties with sleep or self‑esteem. He also supports people who feel isolated, struggle with guilt or shame, or are coping after trauma and abuse. Codependency, communication problems and caregiver strain are listed as areas he attends to.
He uses psychodynamic therapy to look at how past experiences influence current reactions and relationships. This can help people understand repeating patterns and make different choices in everyday life. Adrian says he adapts how he communicates to suit each person and works within BACP and UKCP ethical frameworks.
Practical steps are discussed together, so clients decide what changes to try. To begin, people follow the site booking flow and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session.
How sessions work
Psychodynamic approach and online sessions
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences shape present reactions. It helps people notice repeated patterns in relationships and daily life, and it can clarify why certain feelings or behaviours keep returning. This approach is often used for concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief and recurring relationship difficulties.Adrian frames therapy as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which way of working feels most useful. Finding the right approach may take a few conversations and adjustments over early sessions.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. Many people find it helpful to maintain continuity of appointments when life is otherwise difficult, and therapists commonly use online sessions to keep that continuity while adapting the pace and focus to each person's circumstances.
