Services designed to help you navigate life’s challenges
I believe no one should face life’s hurdles alone. My tailored services—from counselling to coaching—offer a safe, supportive space to explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.
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.
Online Counselling or Hypnotherapy
Online Therapy should never be seen as a second-best option to sitting in the same room as your therapist. It is a valid and effective way of accessing support, and for many people it can actually feel more comfortable, accessible and easier to fit around everyday life. I’m an accredited online therapist and work with clients, locally, nationally and internationally online, and I’ve seen first-hand that meaningful therapeutic relationships can absolutely be built through a screen. The important thing isn’t always where the conversation happens, but whether you feel heard, understood, safe and supported.
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.
Brave Guided Journeys(Subscription)
Brave Guided Journeys are designed to give you the space, guidance and practical tools to work on yourself at your own pace. They bring together therapeutic insight, reflection, exercises and guided practices to help you understand what you’re feeling, recognise the patterns that may be holding you back and begin making positive changes.
These aren’t about simply watching a few videos and hoping things change. They are about taking an active part in your own journey, with structure and support to help you move forward.
Whether you’re working on your confidence, emotional awareness, stress, self-esteem or simply wanting to understand yourself better, there is a Brave Guided Journey to help you take that next step.
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.
My son just come from seeing Graham after his second session and shared that he felt heard and listened to. He said “He just got me” Thank you
Getting our teenager to engage with anything like this wasn’t easy, but somehow it worked. She felt listened to, not judged, and that made all the difference. We’ve noticed she is coping better and opening up more at home.” Thank you for helping us have conversations and hear each other.
Inverurie Family
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.
Karina Walker
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.
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!”
Client
“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!”

I work with children, young people, adults and families from all walks of life. You don’t need to have a “big reason” if something feels heavy, confusing or just too much, that’s enough
That’s totally okay. You don’t need to have the right words or know what to say. Our first session is about gently getting to know each other. We go at your pace, and nothing is off-limit
