About

Hi, I’m Graham — counsellor, coach, and someone who truly  struggle and grow through it

I’ve spent years helping children, young people, adults, and families feel more connected, grounded, and supported. Whether you’re carrying something heavy or simply want to understand yourself better, I’m here to walk beside you — with compassion, honesty, and a little bit of lightness when we need it.

Why This Work Matters to Me

I didn’t start this work from a textbook — I started it from lived experience.
I’ve faced my own mental health challenges, and I know how much of a difference it makes to have someone really listen. Not try to fix you. Not rush you. Just see you, exactly as you are, and help you find your way forward.

That’s why Brave Journeys exists. Because real support — the kind that actually helps — is about showing up human-to-human. And you deserve that kind of support.

My Approach

My sessions are friendly, flexible, and built around you. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy — because no two people (or families) are the same.
You can expect a space where you’ll be heard, never judged, and gently supported toward whatever change or clarity you’re looking for.

Depending on your needs, I may draw from counselling, coaching, hypnotherapy, EFT tapping, or NLP — always working at a pace that feels right.

For those of you that know me well will know I started a brave journey. After many years of losing who I once was and living the lives of others instead of my best life. I took a journey and I know it has changed me. For me Graham @Brave jounreys, is real, he challenges and supports, protects and encourages you to face fears and be Brave. He catches you when you fall and helps you help yourself build back up to be strong and ready for anything. Today I feel incredibly Brave, I feel that everyday and I know I will never let others decide who I need to be or what I need to bring to the table. I need to be myself, and I like me and I love my friends and family for seeing me through this time. Please, if you feel that you need to take a Brave journey, speak to Graham, dig deep and do the hard work and I promise you will never look back. I’m yoga warrior pose ready for life and I know I have a new forever friend and contact in Graham and Brave Journeys.

I can not recommend Graham enough. My daughter was struggling with anxiety, the GP just gave her medication without even seeing her. She couldn’t go to school and even struggled out with her friends. She spent 1 hour on a walk and talk with Graham and she’s a lot happier. She came off her prescription medicine and started multivitamins with iron and is now back at school full time. Thank you so much for your words of wisdom, whatever you said to her has helped her feel more like her old self.

“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!”

“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!”
