Chris Graham
Professional Counsellor, MPCC-Provisional designation with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA).
I work with pilots and men in high-pressure careers who are navigating anxiety, burnout, identity challenges, or major life transitions. Many of the people I support are looking for counselling that is practical, confidential, and respectful of their professional context. For pilots concerns about career impact, medical implications often create hesitation around seeking support.

I work with people and help to untangle what feels overwhelming and bring clarity and relief in all areas of life, including with anger, shame, relationships & disconnection, parenting, stress & anxiety, burnout, grief & loss, life transitions, social media & doom-scrolling, new diagnoses, and climate-related emotions.
