Hu mans have evolved to be social beings.
Is there an aspect of your life that overwhelms you and leaves you feeling like you need help? Living life authentically often leads us to encounter these types of challenges. Sometimes we can trace the origin of our distress back to a particular event or experience such as a relationship or job dissatisfaction. Other times, the origins are more hidden and leave us scared and confused. This distress can take many forms, typically depression and anxiety. Talking openly in the safety and confidentiality of a therapeutic relationship can bring some relief.

At the heart of my practice is a dedication to nurturing a therapeutic relationship built on trust and collaboration. Together, we prioritize progress over perfection, with a priority on evidence-based research. I am here to equip you with the confidence and tools to navigate your presenting concerns, empowering you to seize control over what is within your ability to control, and guide you towards acceptance of what lies beyond your influence.

I believe that therapy is most effective when it deeply respects and builds upon your own unique strengths, abilities, values, and past resourcefulness. My goal is to support youth and young adults in moving forward in their lives through effectively addressing challenges related to mental health, unresolved past or current relationship trauma and grief, persistent loneliness, excessive worry and overthinking, anger management, and navigating the complexities of early adulthood. I also provide clinical supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists working towards their CRPO independent practice status.

I have successfully transformed my life by mastering the ability to effectively manage, using hypnosis, these persistent, unwelcome emotions and thoughts, to the point where they no longer exist.
Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis: Hello, my name is Christopher Graham, Ph.D., CCHT and I am a hypnotherapist, naturotherapist, Gnostic Spiritualist and Metaphysical Practitioner. I can relate to the difficulties that arise in everyday life, such as coping with depression, anxiety, stress, and the overpowering urge to escape. These challenges used to dominate my life. However, through the practice of hypnosis, I have been able to significantly enhance my quality of life.

Many people, young and old, as well as those with ADHD and Autism, thrive in the natural world, and so why not take therapy into that space?.
Does it feel like difficult emotions are in control of your life or your household? See the path forward but can’t seem to take the needed steps? Is traditional office therapy a barrier for you or your teen and you want to try another way? Together, we can create a space and a relationship to make change for you and your loved ones. By exploring practical strategies and trying them out together, rather than just talking in the abstract, we can piece together the puzzle to not only better understand what is wrong, but find the tools to make it right.

Because I am cross-trained and have very wide experience in many fields I am quite often able to quickly "pin-point" a person's "stuck points".
I provide warm, heart-connected and empathetic counselling, coaching, mediation and hypnotherapy services to individuals, couples and families. I concentrate on "wholistic" healing and empowerment rather than on being clinical and "helping". Basically, I form what I call a "Healing Partnership" with the people who come for my services. I tend to be quite eclectic and bring a wide range of skills, techniques, modalities and wisdom to each counselling interaction. Please contact me to enhance your life and to make the most of each moment.
My favourite slogan is: "Listening well is the most eloquent sign of caring."

When I look for a therapist for myself, I think of what I am struggling to make sense of: the death of a family member, a shift at work, changes in relationships, struggles managing the busyness of life... I'm looking to connect to these thoughts, these feelings, these sensations in a way that can help me first understand what is happening. After all, I never know what to do about something standing in my way if I don't know what it is first. The first thing I want my therapist to do with me is to help me see clearly. Then, we can take the time to figure out what to do about it.

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Unsure? I might be able to help. If you're looking for a therapist who is warm, collaborative and non-judgmental, then we might be a good fit. I tend to do well with clients who are looking to understand the influence of shame and negative beliefs on their life, and who'd like to explore how to go about reclaiming their story. I have over 15 years of professional experience supporting people with issues related to mental health, relationships, and sexual well-being. I love this work and I treat every person’s story with respect and dignity.

We often believe that we are alone in our suffering, that no one has experienced or could understand what we are going through, or conversely, that the suffering of others is much greater than our own, that ours does not deserve attention. Fear of judgment and vulnerability can keep us from reaching out when we need it most. That is why I believe there is power in creating space to explore obstacles that hinder us from thriving. Whether you are making sense of your past, navigating issues in the present, or planning for your future, it would be my privilege to walk alongside you on your journey of healing.

I work with motivated individuals who are looking to work towards better understanding, dealing with, and changing their lives. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as compulsions or addictions, aversions, or getting easily frustrated or angry. I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols such that they can create the changes they want.

The process is collaborative and often feels like an organic exchange between two hu mans.
I offer client's a safe space to slow down, connect, and process their experiences in a grounded therapeutic relationship. I work with client's who are curious to explore deeper meaning and the emotional undercurrents of their life experiences, drawing on them for valuable insights toward self-knowledge, guidance, healing, and purposefulness. My ideal client is someone seeking a great sense of relational rapport, as well as a long-term commitment to their own growth and healing.

Living in a world that de mands perfection is not easy. It can be extremely difficult and unforgiving to us hu man beings. When we experience negative emotions there is something deeper that is lurking beneath the surface. I am a hu manistic therapist who puts the client's needs first. Even if the client is unsure of what they need, this will be part of the journey to discover. I do not adhere to a "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy as every individual is unique and deserves to be heard for who they are.
