Adrian Hepburn, BACP

Adrian Hepburn is a therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings up to four years of experience in psychotherapy alongside up to six years of direct support for young adults with complex learning needs. He works with people facing relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related and autism-related concerns, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, low self-esteem and depression, as well as coping with life changes and a range of related struggles such as codependency, communication problems, isolation and self-harm.

He offers a relational way of working that prioritises building a strong therapeutic connection so clients feel heard, understood and met without judgement. Through reflection on recurring thoughts, feelings and patterns, he collaborates with people to identify the changes they want and to find practical ways of moving toward those goals. Adrian tailors his communication and treatment plans to each person’s circumstances and needs, and he practices in line with the ethical standards of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Adrian supports clients through a range of remote options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to access therapy alongside everyday commitments. He welcomes the courage it takes to seek help and aims to work alongside individuals as they pursue growth and greater wellbeing.

Psychodynamic and Relational Approaches for Remote Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape present feelings and behaviours; it can help people understand recurring relationship difficulties, long-standing emotional pain, and patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood. A relational approach focuses on the therapeutic relationship itself as a space to notice and work through interpersonal patterns - it is often useful for relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy concerns and problems with communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Adrian works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel most relevant to their goals, needs and preferences, and adapts the pace and focus of therapy as understanding develops.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for those balancing work, family or other commitments. These options make it possible to maintain regular contact, access support from home, and continue therapeutic work even when in-person meetings are difficult, while still working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual circumstances.
