Background and approach
He pays attention to problems like low self-esteem, sleeping difficulties, intimacy concerns and the strain of caregiving. Sessions are conversational and reflective. Adrian listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour and helps people notice how those patterns show up day to day.
Together they consider small, realistic changes that match the person's priorities and capacity. His style is warm and non-judgemental. He adapts language and pace to each person and aims to make the work manageable.
Adrian emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in every interaction. People often come with complex life events or ongoing stresses. Adrian offers steady support while helping clients clarify what matters to them.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy
Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that repeat in your relationships and inner life. It helps surface habits of thinking and feeling that influence day-to-day choices and emotional reactions. This can be useful for issues such as depression, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties.Adrian uses a relational lens in sessions, paying attention to the therapeutic relationship itself as a way to understand problems. That relationship becomes a tool to notice how people relate to others, what they expect from connections and where change might help. Working this way can support people dealing with ADHD, autism-related challenges and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian will explore your needs, goals and preferences with you and recommend a way forward together. He aims to tailor pace and communication so the therapy fits your life.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial expressions and body language, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
