About Adrian
Adrian Hepburn is a counsellor with four years' experience in psychotherapy and a background supporting young adults with complex learning needs. He works with people who are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and thoughts of self-harm. Adrian aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can begin to talk about what matters to them.
Adrian uses a relational way of working. He focuses on building a steady therapeutic connection first.
Background and approach
That relationship helps him notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour that show up both in and outside sessions. Sessions are used to reflect on those patterns and to decide what someone wants to change. He adapts his approach to each person, matching how he talks and plans work to their needs.
This includes people who have concerns linked to ADHD or autism. Adrian is a BACP member, which means he follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's code of practice. He also holds a trainee membership with the UK Council for Psychotherapy and aims to work in ways that respect and value each person.
Practical goals and small steps are part of the process. Adrian supports people who are managing grief, compassion fatigue, sleep problems or strain in close relationships. He works to help people feel understood and to find clearer ways of coping day to day.
Psychodynamic work online and practical session choices
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and close relationships shape current feelings and actions. In sessions this means noticing recurring patterns and feelings, and gently reflecting on where they may come from and how they affect day-to-day life.Adrian aims to work collaboratively to find the right way forward. He will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit your needs. Together you will agree what to focus on and how to pace the work.
Online sessions can take place as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel and emotional connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use a camera. Chat or messaging suits short check-ins, brief reflections or people who prefer typed communication.
The flexibility of online work helps fit therapy around busy lives. It makes attending sessions easier from different locations and allows for a mix of formats to match how you feel and what you need at any time.
