About Graham
Graham Wilson works with people on stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, self-esteem, addiction and other life changes using person-focused talking therapies. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.
Graham uses a client-centred style that prioritises listening and the person's own perspective. He combines this with cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thinking and practical steps for daily life. He also draws on existential ideas to help people reflect on meaning, and uses hypnotherapy and mindfulness where these fit the person's needs.
Sessions are conversational and aim to clarify what someone wants to change or understand. The counsellor works through feelings and patterns at a steady pace, and may introduce exercises between sessions to practice new ways of coping. This can help with sleep problems, anger, low mood and anxiety symptoms.
Graham has supported people with family and parenting issues, including adoption and blended family challenges, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and caregiver stress. He also offers support around trauma and abuse, dissociation, addictions and intimacy-related issues.
He has worked with people on grief, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and life purpose questions. Sessions aim to be practical and reflective so people can try different coping strategies and notice what helps.
Sessions are conducted in English and Graham accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details via the service's booking flow.
How his approaches are used in online counselling
Graham combines a client-centred way of working with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience so they can find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy develops attention to the present moment and offers strategies to reduce stress and improve sleep.
Finding which approach helps most is part of the work. Graham will discuss goals and preferences with each person and agree together which methods to try. The process is collaborative and may mix approaches over time depending on what proves helpful.
