Chris Graham

Professional Counsellor, MPCC-Provisional designation with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA).

Virtual

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.
