About Adrian
Adrian Hepburn has practised in psychotherapy for around four years and brings additional experience supporting young adults with complex learning needs. He is a BACP member, and emphasises building a dependable working relationship from the start. Adrian aims to make sessions straightforward and approachable for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
He focuses on relationship concerns, family tensions, parenting stress, grief and depression. He also works with anxiety, trauma and the kind of emotional fatigue that comes from caring roles. Issues linked to ADHD and autism are part of his day-to-day work, along with problems such as low self-esteem, sleeping difficulties and intimacy-related worries.
Adrian follows a relational psychodynamic approach. In practice this means noticing how early experiences and current ways of relating affect present feelings and choices. He pays attention to patterns that repeat in life and in the room, and uses that understanding to help people decide what they want to change.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Adrian aims to create an accepting space without judgement, and to tailor communication and plans to each client’s needs. He encourages clear goals and practical steps as well as reflective conversation.
People who value thoughtful listening and steady guidance may find his style helpful. He works across a broad range of concerns often linked to men’s wellbeing and caregiving roles, and offers therapy in English from the United Kingdom.
Psychodynamic ideas in online therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people who want to understand why certain patterns keep repeating and how those patterns affect relationships and mood.Adrian emphasises the relational side of psychodynamic work, noticing how people relate in the therapy space and how that mirrors daily life. This approach can be useful for addressing intimacy issues, unresolved grief, self-esteem problems and persistent anxiety by bringing those patterns into view and discussing them together.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Adrian treats this as a collaborative task. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree a way of working that suits those needs.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce travel time. Many people find video or phone conversations let them keep therapy going around work and family commitments while still engaging in thoughtful, relational work.
