This is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up just as you are—messy bits and all.
Someone who truly gets it
You’ll work with someone who brings both lived experience and professional training.
In-person or via video call
In-person, online, or phone sessions—whatever works best for you.
Things can feel heavier than they need to
The weight builds quietly Without the right support, emotions can feel heavier over time—leaving you feeling drained, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward.
It affects more than just you Stress, anxiety or emotional strain can impact relationships, work, and even your ability to rest and recharge.
It’s hard to speak up when you don’t feel safe Too many people stay silent because therapy feels clinical, overwhelming or out of reach.
You don’t have to carry it alone With the right support, things can feel lighter. There’s space to breathe, talk things through, and feel like yourself again—one step at a time.
How We Can Work Together
All services are available both in-person (North East Scotland) and online, so you can get the support you need—wherever you are.
Counselling
Safe, supportive space for emotional exploration.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief, low mood, overwhelm, or just feel a little lost, counselling offers a calm and non-judgmental space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll unpack thoughts and emotions at your pace, in a way that helps you feel seen, supported, and gently empowered to move forward.
Hypnotherapy & NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
Uncover patterns and create lasting change.
Sometimes we carry unconscious beliefs or behaviours that hold us back. Hypnotherapy and NLP work on a deeper level to gently reframe these patterns and open up space for clarity, healing, and change. These techniques are especially helpful for anxiety, phobias, self-esteem, and confidence issues.
EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques)
Release emotional tension and restore balance.
EFT combines gentle physical tapping on pressure points with spoken affirmations to help reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. It’s a simple yet powerful tool to calm the nervous system and shift how we feel in our body, often bringing immediate relief and clarity.
Life Coaching
Clarity, direction, and support to move forward.
Coaching sessions are ideal if you’re looking to set goals, gain confidence, or navigate a new chapter in life. With a blend of empathy and action, we’ll clarify where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there—step by step, without the overwhelm.
I know what it’s like to carry the weight of mental health struggles, the quiet battles no one sees, the feeling of being stuck and unsure where to turn. I’ve been there myself, not as a distant expert, but as someone who’s lived through the ups and downs of healing.
That’s why I’m here: to walk alongside you, not in front or behind, but right there with you. My approach isn’t about clinical distance, it’s about real connection, honesty, and understanding what it means to be human.
With years of experience supporting children, young people, adults, and families; alongside my own journey, I combine professional tools with lived insight. Together, we’ll find the kind of support that feels right for you, at your pace, in your way. You don’t have to do this alone!

“I couldn’t recommend Graham enough, his friendly, honest approach really put my daughter at ease. After the initial consultation she was left feeling very confident that Graham’s approach to her severe phobia (wasps) would give her a much better quality of life. Only regret is that we didn’t learn about Brave Journey’s earlier!”
Client
“I would highly recommend Brave Journeys. I met Graham at a time when, for various reasons, I felt incredibly lost, worthless and without purpose. Through conversation and techniques Graham has helped me work on what I want and who I am. Graham is a genuine and kind therapist, who is very comfortable to be with. 10 minutes of hypnotherapy makes me feel like I’ve had a day at a spa!”
