About Adrian
Adrian Hepburn is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience in psychotherapy. He works mainly with relationship and family concerns, alongside issues such as anxiety, depression, self-harm thoughts and compassion fatigue. Sessions are carried out in English.
Adrian has up to six years' experience supporting young adults with complex learning needs. He often works with people who are navigating challenges linked to ADHD and autism. That background informs how he notices communication patterns and practical needs during sessions.
He uses a relational, psychodynamic approach. That means he pays attention to how past patterns turn up in present relationships and in the therapy room. He aims to learn about each person's history and recurring ways of thinking and behaving.
In practice he listens for repeating themes such as guilt, shame, isolation or impulsivity. He talks through how these patterns affect everyday life and relationships. Together with the client he clarifies which changes to try and what a manageable next step looks like.
Adrian is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a Trainee member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). He follows the ethical codes set by those bodies. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Psychodynamic work and remote sessions
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. It invites reflection on early experiences and how those experiences shape present feelings, behaviours and relationship reactions. This approach can help when people struggle with ongoing conflict, low self-esteem, or persistent anxiety.Adrian also works relationally, which means attention is paid to how the interaction between counsellor and client reveals familiar ways of relating. That practical focus helps identify unhelpful habits and to try different responses within sessions. Both approaches aim to make connections between past patterns and current difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Adrian will discuss your history, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide which methods to try and how sessions should be paced.
The biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm the available session types before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt session length and frequency to suit day-to-day life without changing the therapeutic focus.
