About Adrian
Adrian Hepburn is a counsellor who has four years' experience in psychotherapy and several years supporting young adults with complex learning needs. He focuses on building a steady, respectful relationship so people feel heard. Adrian aims to understand how your everyday thoughts and behaviours affect your life and what you want to change.
He uses a relational, psychodynamic approach that looks at patterns in feelings and relationships. Sessions are conversational and reflective, with space to notice how old habits turn up now.
Background and approach
He talks through how emotions, memories and interactions link together and what that means for day-to-day life. Adrian commonly helps people face anxiety, depression, self-harm thoughts, grief, stress and compassion fatigue. He also works with concerns tied to ADHD and autism, intimacy and relationship strains, sleep problems, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
He can support people dealing with guilt, isolation, codependency and communication problems. He is a BACP member and follows the association's ethical standards. Adrian adapts pace and tone to each person, aiming for clear, kind communication and practical steps when helpful.
Work in sessions may include reflecting on patterns, trying different ways of responding, and setting small goals. Starting therapy is often a nervous step, and Adrian welcomes that. He aims to make the first sessions focused and straightforward so people can see if the approach fits.

How Adrian works online
Adrian’s relational stance means he pays attention to the connection between therapist and client. Work is conversational and reflective, noticing how interactions in the session mirror everyday life. This can make it easier to spot recurring problems and try out different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions around those needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and saving travel time. Online talks can be easier to schedule around work or caring responsibilities and may allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to make sure they suit your routine.
